Calyx’s Half-Sister Helenium Brings €600k From Quirke Bloodstock On Behalf Of Coolmara Stables At Auctav

[Wandering Eyes]

Frankel's Helenium (lot 50) was knocked down for €600,000 to Quirke Bloodstock on behalf of Coolmara Stables halfway through Autav's Jean-Pierre Dubois Sale on Wednesday. Already the dam of a pair of fillies by Kingman, the 6-year-old half-sister to the late Calyx (Invincible Spirit) is carrying once again to that Juddmonte stallion. Helenium was bred by Dream With Me Stable, Inc.

Out of the G3 Prix d'Aumale heroine Helleborine (Observatory), Helenium is also a half-sister to the listed winner and GII Distaff Turf Mile second Coppice (Kingman). Under the second dam is G1 Sprint Cup heroine African Rose (Observatory), the ancestress of multiple group winner Fair Eva (Frankel) and Classic winner and sire Native Trail (Oasis Dream).
