For Sale

The Tattersalls Autumn Sale has been very good to us in the past, as our only two previous purchases from this sale became HARLEM, a double Gr1 winner, and PILOTE D'ESSAI, a double stakes winner. Our latest 2 imports include&nbsp;ELIYASS, who won three stakes races in 2024 and finished third to VIA SISITINA at Gr1 level and ELAMAZ,&nbsp;who just won a listed race at his first start in Australia.&nbsp; Since 2020 horses from the Tattersalls Autumn sales have won or placed in 33 Gr1 races in Australia. After studying the form of over 250 horses and reviewing about 160 race replays, we are thrilled to purchase MR MONACO as our top pick. We secured MR MONACO in partnership with Will Bourne from Ciaron Maher Racing, acquiring 75% of the horse. I am very confident in recommending him to you for the following reasons: WILL TO WIN: MR MONACO is always competitive, putting up a fight in the closing stages. The only time he didn&rsquo;t finish in the top four was on very heavy ground while being ridden wide as a 2-year-old. FORM INDICATORS BELOW 
<ul>
<li>Lightly raced 3-year-old with impeccable form, having won from 1400m to 2000m.</li>
<li>Timeform rating 106 (see rating study below)</li>
<li>Form Recap: 9 starts, 8 times in the first 4, 2 wins, 2 seconds, one 3rd, three 4th.</li>
<li>Distance range: 1400m to 2400m</li>
<li>Best distance: 2000m</li>
<li>Last August, he won by 4 lengths over 2000m while carrying 4kg more than the second and third horses.</li>
<li>He was narrowly beaten twice while carrying 2kg more than the eventual winners.</li>
</ul>
 His latest form is his best, indicating that he is improving with maturity. He has successfully defeated older horses and stakes horses such as EUCHEN GLEN, who has won three Gr3 races and earned over GBP 620k in prize money. MR MONACO has a Timeform rating of 106.&nbsp; The following four European imports have achieved Group 1 success in Australia despite having no black-type form in Europe and an inferior Timeform Rating than Mr Monaco. 
<ul>
<li>MUGATOO (The All Star Mile, Gr.1 - 2021) Timeform 88 at last starts in Europe</li>
<li>JUST FINE (The Metropolitan Handicap. Gr.1 - 2024) Timeform 104 at last start in Europe</li>
<li>HUETOR (Doomben Cup x2, Gr.1 - 2022, 2023) Timeform 94 at last starts in Europe</li>
<li>DENY KNOWLEDGE (Might and Power stakes, Gr.1 - 2024) Timeform 62 at last start in Europe</li>
<li>CIRCLE OF FIRE ( Sydney Cup winner) came to Australia with a Timeform rating of 102</li>
<li>FAWKNERPARK&nbsp;( $2.2M earner)&nbsp; arrived in Australia with a Timeform of 92.</li>
</ul>
 This underscores the strength of European racing and highlights the opportunities available for horses that acclimatize well, improve with time and maturity, and benefit from excellent training and management ACTION: Whether walking, trotting, or galloping, MR MONACO is light on his feet&mdash;loose and supple. His galloping action is powerful, long, low, and efficient. CONFORMATION: He is a lovely big horse with plenty of size, substance, and bone. He has a very athletic body shape and exudes quality. Larger horses take longer to fully mature, giving him significant room for improvement as an older horse here. PEDIGREE: Hails from the extraordinary top-class European family of ALPINISTA, ALBANOVA and ALBORADA. TERRITORIES (Invincible Spirit) has produced 3 Gr1 winners in recent years. One of his best horses LAZZAT just ran 2nd in the GOLDEN EAGLE at his first start in Australia and won 6 from 6 in France. MR MONACO is out of a SEA THE STARS mare, one of the best stallions in the world. MR MONACO&rsquo;s third dam was the champion 3-year-old ALBORADA. PROGRAM Throughout the year in Australia, there are 22 races worth $1M or more over 1600m and further. MR MONACO will be eligible for most of them. Our main target for the spring is the $5 Diamond in Sydney, a $2M race over 2000m restricted to 5yo.&nbsp; MR MONACO cost GNS 410k = AU$850k, which is about $1.15M landed, including GST, freight, quarantine, insurance, commission, vetting, management fee and training up to the 1st of July 2025.&nbsp; Colours are available for 20% shares and larger. 80% is already sold&nbsp;
