Windsor Park shuttle stallion, Charm Spirit, has
enjoyed success on the second day of the Arqana Yearling Sale at Deauville with
a colt by the three-time European Group One winner selling for 500,000 euros.
Out of stakes placed Rainbow Quest mare, Kartica, the colt was knocked down to
the bid of Shadwell Farm France who purchased the youngster from the Haras du
Cadran Stud draft.
"He is a very nice individual by a late maturing but very good racehorse,”
Shadwell’s Angus Gold said. "Charm Spirit is an exciting young stallion. This
colt is a half-brother to a top-class filly and I liked him more every time I
saw him.”
Charm Spirit commenced stud duties at Windsor Park in 2015, with his first crop
of yearlings set to go through the sale ring at Karaka in 2018.
The son of Invincible Spirt raced nine times for six wins, with his three Group
One victories, including the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, coming in his
last three starts. – NZ Racing Desk
