Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 53 minutes ago Journalists Posted 53 minutes ago A grey son of Frankel became the first seven-figure lot of the Tattersalls December Foal Sale when selling for 1,150,000gns to MV Magnier. Lot 882 was consigned by West Blagdon Stud and is a son of the G3 Prix de Lieurey heroine Cloudy Dawn (Kodiac). He was bred by James Wigan. Under the third dam is Group 1 winner and celebrated producer Grey Lilas (Danehill). “A great result for James Wigan – he is one of the best breeders there is,” said MV Magnier. “It's a great farm and they have a great track record of raising very good horses. Frankel is a very good stallion, as you all know, and a lot of sons of Galileo are doing well at stud. We'll bring him back home and we'll review what we do in the summer but I would say most likely he will go to Ballydoyle. It's a lot of money for him but, I suppose when you breed a horse like that, the Wigans deserved to get that price.” The post MV Magnier Pays 1.15m Gns For Son Of Frankel At Tattersalls December appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
