Premier trotting sire Tactical Landing will have a seven-strong draft go up for auction at next month’s NZB National Yearling Sales.

The Muscle Hill horse will be represented by six yearlings – five colts and a filly – at the Christchurch sale on Wednesday, February 18 and a filly at Karaka on Monday, February 16.

Leading the Tactical Landing entry at the Canterbury Agricultural Park are a colt out of the Harness Jewels winner Missandei ($149,805), the dam of the multiple Victorian Group placegetter Kyvalley Michael.

The draft also includes a colt out of a Majestic Son half-sister to the cup class trotter Everybody Knows (Lot 196), a colt from the family of the NZ Sires’ Stake 2YO champions Wanna Play and Wanna Play With Me (Lot 257), a colt from a half-sister to the four-time Group 1 winning trotter Temporale (Lot 305) and a colt from a Love You mare closely related to the Group 1 winners Solar Fire and Sheemon (Lot 259).

The lone Tactical Landing filly at the Christchurch sale is Lot 278, whose grand-dam is a half-sister to the trotting standouts Allegro Agitato and Skyvalley.

Tactical Landing’s single representative at Karaka is Lot111, a filly from a Love You half-sister to the NZ 2YO Trotting Filly of the Year High Energy, The Redwood victor High Step and the Young Guns winner Higher Power.
