A private sale has now been agreed for Sparkling Plenty (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), who was bought back at £8.1 million at the Goffs London Sale but has now been part-sold to Al Shaqab Racing for £5 million.
A day after winning the G1 Prix de Diane Longines, the filly was the headline act in the 24-lot eve-of-Royal Ascot sale in Kensington Palace and has been part-retained by her owner-breeder Jean-Pierre-Joseph Dubois, who subsequently came to an arrangement with Al Shaqab.
Sparkling Plenty, a full-sister to G3 Jersey S. winner Noble Truth (Fr), is trained in France by Patrice Cottier and is now the winner of five of her eight races, including the G2 Prix de Sandringham.
Out 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}).
