Another 2.2m Gns Joint-Topper, As Amo Strikes For Wootton Bassett Colt

[Wandering Eyes]

Less than 10 lots from the end of Wednesday's session, lot 349, a son of Wootton Bassett and the Scat Daddy mare Qabala, was knocked down for 2.2 million gns to Amo Racing. He is the third yearling to make that price during the second session of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1.

Amo picked up lot 247, another son of Wootton Bassett, for an identical price from the Marlhill House Stud draft earlier in the day. Kia Joorabchian's operation has purchased five yearlings outright on Wednesday for 7.31 million gns.

The February foal and third produce of his dam was bred by Al Shahania Stud Doha. He was offered by Newsells Park Stud on behalf of Al Shahania.

Qabala joined the Al Shahania fold when picked up for $300,000 out of the Fasig-Tipton Night of Stars as a weanling. She won the G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes and was third in the G1 1000 Guineas. Her latest foal is a weanling filly by undefeated G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Ace Impact.

The colt's great granddam is the GI Alabama Stakes and GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Flute (Seattle Slew). Flute, in turn, left GII Goldikova Stakes winner Filimbi (Mizzen Mast), who was placed at the highest level four times.
