A superbly
bred Galileo filly from blue hen Green Room has topped the Goffs Orby Yealing
Sale in Ireland when selling for 3million euros while the second highest priced
offering on day two went to Aquis Farm.
A full sister to Galileo's Group I winning fillies Forever Together and
Together Forever and half-sister to Group I winner Lord Shanakill, the sought
after filly was bred by Vimal and Gillian Khosla and was bought by MV Magnier /
Westerberg.
"Firstly I would say that I'm delighted for Vimal and Gillian. It's a
great result for them and they've been rewarded for putting a lot of faith in
Galileo over the years," said MV Magnier.
"Obviously it's been a very lucky family for us already with Together
Forever and Forever Together and this mare has produced another Group 1 winner
in Lord Shanakill so she's an outstanding producer and we are lucky to be able
to buy a filly like this as she really is a collector's item."
The second highest priced yearling on day two was a Sea the Stars colt from
Ownwan that made 550,000 euros when knocked down to Aquis Farm. He comes from
the family of Epsom Derby winner High Chaparral, now a leading sire of sires.
