Francis-Henri Graffard sent juvenile Group 1 winner Vertical Blue (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) through the Tattersalls ring as the penultimate Sceptre Sessions lot (1770A), and she duly made 3,200,000gns on the bid of John Stewart's Resolute Racing, bidding online. Bred by Haras du Mont dit Mont in Ireland, the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine is out of the Sea The Stars (Ire) mare Krunch (GB). Second dam Spinacre (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}) won the Listed Flame of Tara Stakes and was third in the G3 Prix Imprudence. Paul Nataf signed the ticket for the subsequent Gemini Stud and Argella Racing runner for €50,000 out of Arqana's August Yearling Sale last year.
The highest rated two-year-old in France, Vertical Blue, sells for 3.2million gns at the #tattsdecember Sceptre Session.
