Yoshito Yahagi has made no secret of his love of shopping for yearlings in Deauville and the Japanese trainer got involved early as the Arqana August Sale got underway with the purchase of a daughter of Frankel (GB) from Haras des Capucines for €800,000.

Offered as Lot 28, the filly out of Waldjagd (GB) (Observatory) is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner Waldbiene (Fr) (Intello (Ger}) and Listed winner Urwald (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}) and was bred by Ecurie Calarec. The yearling's two-year-old half-brother Misunderstood (Fr) (Hello Youmazin {Fr}) was the recent winner of the Prix de Crevecoeur on debut at Deauville.

The further family also includes the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Waldgeist (GB) and G1 St Leger winner Masked Marvel (Ire).
