In frenetic early trade at Tattersalls during the second session of Book 1 of the October Yearling Sale, a third yearling by the champion sire Frankel (GB) left the ring with a seven-figure price tag as Coolmore's MV Magnier bid 2.4 million gns for the three-parts-brother to group winners Broome (Ire) and Point Lonsdale (Ire).

Sold by breeder Denis Brosnan of Ireland's Croom House Stud as lot 238, the late April colt is a son of the stakes-winning Acclamation (GB) mare Sweepstake (Ire). The mare's 2-year-old, Half-sister to the above, Saadiyat (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), is entered to make her debut at Saint-Cloud on Thursday.

Just half an hour earlier, Watership Down Stud's Frankel colt out of So Mi Dar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) set a new high as the most expensive yearling in the world this year when sold to Godolphin for 2.8 million gns.
