Lively Start at Tattersalls as Frankel Filly Brings 1.5m Gns
Updated: October 5, 2022 at 8:58 am
A robust start to the second day's trade at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale soon featured a yearling to match the previous day's top price of 1.5 million gns when lot 201, Newsells Park Stud's filly by Frankel (GB) out of Shambolic (Ire), was sold to Coolmore.
Interested parties included Juddmonte's Simon Mockridge and agent Richard Knight, but it was MV Magnier who made the final bid from outside the auditorium. A first foal, the filly was bred by Newsells Park Stud in partnership with Craig Bennett's Merry Fox Stud. Her 6-year-old dam, by Shamardal, is a half-sister to the Hong Kong champion Viva Pataca (GB) (Comic Strip, in Europe) by Marjui (Ire) and the GI Flower Bowl Invitational S winner Laughing (Ire) (Dansili {GB}).
Lot 201 is the fourth seven-figure yearling sold at Tattersalls so far this week.
