The second session of the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale Book 1 has come to an end, and a Frankel filly was the star of the show, fetching a price of US$2 million from MV Magnier.
Camas Park Stud, representing the Sangster family, is offering a filly that is a half-sister to the Group II winner Tilsit. This filly comes from Multilingual, who is a half-sister to the Champion 3YO Miler and sire Kingman.
“We’ve had a long history with the Sangster family and we’ve been very lucky buying off them in the past, and more recently with Luxembourg,” said Magnier.
“She’s a very nice filly and Frankel is doing exceptionally well.
"She’s very well bred, she has everything so let’s hope she’s good. I’m just delighted for Ben and all the guys. A Frankel filly with that pedigree, it’s a lot of money but it was probably a fair price for her.”
The New Bay filly from Falling Petals fetched an impressive €1.65 million for Ballylinch Stud, making it the second-highest priced lot. Amanda Skiffington was the buyer of this filly, bred by China Horse Club. She is considered a valuable asset as a full sister to the highly esteemed dual Group One winner, Saffron Beach.
“The pedigree is fantastic and she’s just beautiful. We bought the brother last year, who looks like being very good, so that added to the appeal a bit. We thought she’s a collector’s item. She’s a special filly to breed from later on,” Skiffington said after the sale.
