Oasis Dream (GB) has been a major presence at all the European Sales in 2010, and the Juddmonte stallion was well represented again Tuesday when his colt from Ecurie des Monceaux topped the second session of Arqana's October Yearling Sale at ﾀ300,000.

His half-brother by Smart Strike, now named Target Point (GB), was bought for ﾀ500,000 by John Ferguson at last year's August Sale.
