Prudenzia Lights Up Arqana Ring Again Via €3m Night Of Thunder Colt For Amo Racing

[Wandering Eyes]

The mare who never misses, Prudenzia once again had her name in lights at Arqana as her daughter by Night Of Thunder (lot 206) shot straight to the top of the leader board after being bought for €3 million by Amo Racing from Ecurie des Monceaux.

“It's a well-used term but she is a collector's item,” said Alex Elliott after signing the ticket on the new owner's behalf. “She's got a great body for a filly out of a mare of that age and her sister [Diamond Necklace] was a TDN Rising Star last week. The mare is still doing it, even though she is a good age. We've bought into one of the greatest families there is.”

Prudenzia, now 20, is the dam of five black-type horses led by G1 Irish Oaks winner Chicquita (Montjeu) and G1 Mackinnon Stakes winner Magic Wand (Galileo), both of whom are now stakes producers themselves.

Her two-year-old Diamond Necklace (St Mark's Basilica) topped last year's August Sale at €1.7m – a price which has already been surpassed by four yearlings at Arqana so far this year.
