Jungle Cat Makes his Presence Felt at Tattersalls

Mark Smith - Wednesday September 8

A terrific result for Telemon Thoroughbreds stallion Jungle Cat (IRE) at the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale overnight, with his lone entry selling for 60,000gns.

 The seventh top-priced filly of the session, the Jamie Railton consigned filly was purchased by Hunscote Stud.  

Already named Miss Jungle Cat, the filly is a half-sister to three winners out of the Dansili mare Honky Tonk Honey.

 A top-class performer worldwide from two to seven, Jungle Cat (IRE) won the Group 1 Alqoz Sprint at the Dubai World Cup Carnival before making the trip to Australia to add the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield.

His sire Iffraaj (GB) has hit the heights as a sire of sires through the Coolmore shuttler Wootton Bassett (GB), whose champion son  Almanzor (FR) was so warmly received at yearling sales this year.

Jungle Cat (IRE) stands at Telemon Thoroughbreds this spring at a fee of $11,000 (inc gst).
