The bay (lot 163), consigned by Shanaville Stables, was purchased by Mags O’Toole and is out of a half-sister to G3 Prix Chloe heroine Sparkling Beam (Ire) (Nayef). The highest price for a filly and second highest yearling overall was a bay filly by Showcasing (GB). Hailing from the draft of Nafferty Stud, BBA Ireland went to €45,000 for lot 244, whose dam is a half-sister to MSW & G1SP Runaway (GB) (King’s Best) from the family of champion Dancing Brave (Lyphard) and MG1SW Jolypha (Lyphard). Of the 255 yearlings offered, 149 (58%) sold, good for an aggregate of €8,622,150. Both the average of €5,786 (-21%) and the median at €3,200 (-36%) dropped compared to last year’s numbers. The sale continues on Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
