The Dubai Horses in Training Sale was topped by four-time winner Castle Way (GB) (Almanzor {Fr}) on Wednesday.

The bay, a half-brother to Group 1 winner and first-season sire Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}), sold to Abubaker Kadoura for AED500,000 (€121,127). A winner of the G3 Bahrain Trophy Stakes in the colours of Godolphin for trainer Charlie Appleby, the 5-year-old gelding is out of Beach Frolic (GB) (Nayef). He was a 425,000gns acquisition by Godolphin out of the Highclere Stud draft during Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2021.

Second on the buyers' sheet was the Frankel (GB) gelding Kalidasa (GB), who went the way of Paul Ebbs for AED400,000 (€97,420). A winner in five starts, the 4-year-old gelding was originally a 2.8 million gns yearling out of Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale. Out of the Watership Down Stud draft, the March foal was out of Group 3 winner and G1 Prix de l'Opera runner-up So Mi Dar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). He was also sold by Godolphin.

Fawzi Nass consigned Comet Chaser (GB) (New Bay {GB}) (lot 76) to the sale, where he caught the eye of Sky Racing for AED200,000. He has placed in four lifetime starts.
