On Day 1 of the sale we secured a sensational buy with Lot 151, a German bred colt named FOOTMAN who has had 9 starts: 5 second placings and should be ideally suited for Australia conditions.
FOOTMAN Lot 151 was our First Purchase
To secure a genuine racehorse like him, with excellent form and still having the easy races to win for his new co-owners, was a great incentive to capture him for future racing in Australia.
Early on Day 2 of the sale, was our primary target of the whole catalogue.
However, we had to be on our toes because as the saying goes
“the early bird captures the worm.”
It proved to be the case again here on
Tuesday morning at the Tattersall’s Horses-In-Training Sale at Newmarket when our number 1 target entered the salering.
Lot 440 was a sensational sort – a 3yo gelding owned by Al Shaqab Racing named MUSHAIREB.
MUSHAIREB - a 3yo in full racing that has started 5 occasions: 2 wins, 1 third, 1 fourth.
An impeccably bred horse with conformation to support his pedigree page and excellent racetrack performances,
we had identified MUSHAIREB to be our primary objective of the sale
On a cold, overcast morning here at Newmarket, he went into the ring ten minutes after the start of day 2 and left the salering the
property of Dynamic Syndications.
He will be coming to Australia to aim at the big money available in middle distance racing.
Anyone who sees his incredible recent race win 21 September will be in awe.
Click the link above to view the race footage.
Please note he gets back in the run early and colours are: Silver, Gold Braid, Maroon Cap, Gold Tassel.
As you’ll see in the video, he was more than impressive when being held up at the rear before starting to make headway. The jockey loses his iron at the furlong mark and Mushaireb races erratically as a result. Amazingly and despite this Mushaireb still knuckles down over the concluding stages to record a stunningly easy victory.
Our veterinarian Dr Tim Roberts re-iterated, “Take home the Best of the Best and you will be rewarded”– we worked hard to find these gems and we are very excited for their futures.
It had been emotionally tough on day 1 at these sales, having purchased lot 151, we had several other horses identified that we would have liked to purchase as well.
However as per our business plan we were only to buy two UK Stayers this year, so it was challenging to say the least, to have sit and watch these other quality horses go through the ring in our acceptable price zone.
We needed to be disciplined to concentrate on our ultimate end game.
We were delighted when the gavel came down on our bid of 60,000 guineas (AUD $113,000 approx) to be taking home such a rare gem.
MUSHAIREB will be offered for syndication when we return in the coming days.

Hear from Adam Watt at the Tattersalls sales chat about MUSHAIREB
MUSHAIREB is the 3rd Foal of the Dam: Hidden Brief (GB).
Hidden Belief was Stakes Placed in France - a 2000m Winner and placed on 5 occasions:
She is a full-sister to a smart Group 3 and Listed winner at 1600m to 2000m winner - HARZAD.
MUSHAIREB is a useful handicapper.
He Won at Pontefact by 1.75 len in September. Last start he finished 3rd of 8 having been set a hopeless task by his rider when getting too far back in his race position and then was not unduly punished in the run.
He certainly stays 1 mile (1600m) and gives every indication by his racing pattern that he wants much further. He acts on all ground and has won on Good and Heavy surfaces. His racing pattern has been to be restrained towards the rear in his races and he travels strongly.
Closely related to Australian performer SWASHBUCKLING (IRE), 6 races at 4 and 5 years, 2017 in UK and in Australia including Schweppes Chairman's Handicap, Randwick, Gr.2, placed 6 times including third in Schweppes Sydney Cup, Randwick, Gr.1.
2017 Timeform Rating 95+
(a “+” symbol beside the number indicates that the horse may be better than rated score)
2016 Timeform Rating 85
Current British Horse Association Official Rating 85
Great families continue to produce stakes-horses and MUSHAIREB certainly appears; on his exposed formlines, racetrack ability and his fabulous family, that upon his current Timeform rating and BHA Rating, he should be a Sydney Saturday class contestant and in the depleted staying ranks in Australia, black type should not be beyond him.
MUSHAIREB – His Sire: INVINCIBLE SPIRIT
A prepotent Sire of Sires with 15 Sons at Stud.
Sire of 15 individual Gr1 Winners, 175 Stakes Winners, He’s in the same mold of his famous father Green Desert.
