Darley head Sheikh Mohammed, standing under the rear bidspotter, fought off Coolmore's John Magnier to land a Storm Cat colt out of champion Fleet Indian (Indian Charlie) for $2.05 million during Tuesday's second session of the Keeneland September Sale. It was easily the highest price of the sale midway through the session and was only the second seven-figure horse.

Shortly thereafter, Summer Wind Farm purchased her privately and bred this colt in Kentucky.
