Melito walks the ring at Goffs overnightMultiple Group I winner Melito made $1,650,000 when bought by Coolmore at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in 2012 and was offered at this sale to dissolve a partnership between Coolmore and China Horse Club.

The daughter of champion sire Redoute's Choice was offered in foal to Galileo and fetched 950,000 euros ($A1,476,912) to the bid of Katsumi Yoshida.

The high profile Japanese owner/ breeder also purchased her first foal, a colt by Encosta de Lago at the 2014 Magic Millions Yearling Sale for $400,000 and sent him straight to Japan where he raced successfully and earned Black Type racing as Campbell Junior.

New Zealand Filly of the Year Fix was originally a $1,250,000 buy for Coolmore from the MM Broodmare Sale in 2015 and the daughter of Iffraaj (GB) was also sold to dissolve the Coolmore/ China Horse Club partnership.

She fetched 750,000 euros ($A1,165,983) when bought by Blandford Bloodstock and was also in foal to Galileo.

Topping the sale at 1,900,000 euros was Holy Roman Emperor mare Inca Princess, the dam of Group I winner and Melbourne Cup runner-up Johannes Vermeer as well as Group II winner Elizabeth Browning.

The 9 year-old mare was offered in foal to their sire Galileo and was bought by Broadhurst Agency.
