Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 15 Journalists Share Posted April 15 A son of the late Acclamation (GB) and the Exceed And Excel (Aus) mare Blue Willow (GB) was the first lot to reach seven figures when knocked down to Anthony Stroud on behalf of Godolphin for 1.4 million gns. Consigned by Mocklershill, lot 17 is a from the same family as G3 Park Express Stakes winner Oh Goodness Me (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), and listed winner Eradicate (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), who was placed in the G3 Prix Gontaut-Biron. A half-sister to Blue Willow, the stakes-placed Authorized (Ire) mare Colima (Ire) produced a pair of stakes winners including multiple group winner and G1 Metropolitan runner-up Brimham Rocks (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). Bred by Corduff Stud, the colt was picked up for €70,000 by JB Bloodstock out of the first book of the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale last autumn. Just a few lots earlier, Godolphin had shelled out 650,000gns for a son of Havana Grey (GB), lot 5. The son of All Back To Mine (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) was consigned by Bansha House Stables. Con Marnane's operation picked up the Abingdon and Witney College-bred for €46,000 out of the Goffs February Sale in 2024. However, he was a 50,000gns buy-back during the 2024 Tattersalls Somerville Sale last autumn.
