Flotus (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) (lot 1798), who ran second in the G1 Cheveley Park S. earlier this year, broke the seven-figure mark at 1 million gns to Katsumi Yoshida's Northern Farm on Tuesday. The new topper, consigned by Gainsborough Thoroughbreds, also won a listed race and her dam is a half-sister to G1 Phoenix S. third Lottie Dod (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and the dual group-placed Rockaway Valley (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). Bred by Newtown Stud and T. J. Pabst, the juvenile hammered at €65,000 as a Goffs November foal and progressed to make 125,000gns as a Tattersalls October yearling last autumn. Earlier in the session, Northern Farm representative Shingo Hashimoto was in action for the 750,000 gns Dandalla (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) (lot 1735), among a trio of six-figure lots.
