Near the end of Sunday's session of the Arqana August Yearling Sale, a colt (lot 147) by Galileo (Ire) was the first yearling to seven figures, selling for €1.5 million to Mitsu Nakauchida. Bred by Ecurie des Monceaux and Skymarc Farm, the youngster was consigned by the former and is out of a full-sister to the dam of G1 Irish Oaks heroine Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire})–who brought €6 million at Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale in 2013–and a half to GSW & MG1SP Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
