Wootton Bassett is the sire of the latest seven-figure Arqana yearling | Coolmore

A bay son of Wootton Bassett (GB) and G3 Prix Miesque heroine Magic America (High Yield) (lot 281) caught the eye of Japanese trainer Yoshito Yahagi to the tune of €1 million during Sunday's Arqana August Yearling Sale. Part of Anna Sundstrom's Coulonces draft, the April foal is a half-brother to Look Around (GB) (Kingman {GB}), who won the Listed Star S. and was placed twice at Group 3 level. The pair's dam, who was second in the G1 Prix Morny, has also produced the G3 Prix du Calvados second Sara Lucille (GB) to the cover of Dansili (GB). This colt is kin to G1 Irish St Leger third Delilah (Ire) (Bluebird), a three-time winner at the graded/group level.
