A day after winning the G1 Prix de Diane, Sparkling Plenty (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) was bought back by her owner-breeder Jean-Pierre-Joseph Dubois at £8.1 million when offered for auction at the Goffs London Sale.
A private sale has now been agreed for Sparkling Plenty to Al Shaqab Racing for £5 million. Story.
Bidding through Goffs representative Amanda Zetterholm, Dubois retained the full-sister to G3 Jersey S. winner Noble Truth (Fr) having previously bought her back as a yearling at Arqana for €600,000.
Sparkling Plenty, trained by Patrice Cottier, is now the winner of five of her eight races, including the G2 Prix de Sandringham. A daughter of the Frankel (GB) mare Speralita (Fr), she is closely related to the Japanese Classic winners Soul Stirring (Jpn) (Frankel {GB}) and Stars On Earth (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}).
