A $900,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Shadwell back in 2006, El Daana was sold at the Shadwell Dispersal at Magic Millions National where she was picked up by Paul Willetts Bloodstock for $120,000.

Her Group II winning daughter Wawail was sold at the same sale also to Paul Willetts for $150,000.

El Daana has a yearling filly by Wawail’s sire Lonhro that made $150,000 at the Magic Millions Weanling Sale and her two year-old filly by Astern made $200,000 at Inglis Premier when bought by Dodmark Thoroughbreds.

El Daana is due to foal to Too Darn Hot (GB).
