A colt from the final crop of Coolmore's ill-fated sire sensation Scat Daddy topped Monday's opening session of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale when selling to Charlie Gordon-Watson for 800,000 guineas - the third highest price ever achieved at this sale. A total of 38 lots sold for 5,222,500 guineas, with an average of 137,434 guineas and a median of 75,000 guineas. Consigned by Willie Browne's Mocklershill Stables, the sale-topping colt is out of the winning Cape Cross mare Alegendinmyownmind and a brother to three winners. The sale represented a pin-hooking windfall for his owners who had purchased him for $270,000 as a yearling. "The horse has been bought for Dr Johnny Hon and his global brand," said Gordon-Watson. "This is a beautiful horse and a very fast horse. The mare has done well and the pedigree stretches back strongly - second dam Midnight Line was a very good racemare and the family traces to the Coolmore line of Together and Jan Vermeer." Gordon-Watson added: "He is also by a fabulous stallion and he really does tick all the boxes - let's hope he is a headline horse." The second highest price of the night was for a daughter of WinStar Farm sire and Vinery Australia shuttler More Than Ready who fetched 500,000 guineas to the bid of Anthony Stroud on behalf of Godolphin. The filly is a daughter of Grade 1 Ashland Stakes winner Sis City. Meanwhile, Darley America-based sire and Arrowfield Stud shuttler Animal Kingdom was responsible for the third highest priced lot of the evening. The colt out of US stakes winner Sirmione was purchased for 420,000 guineas by Alex Elliott, who was standing with California based trainer Simon Callaghan, on behalf of American owner Kaleem Shah. Day two of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale continues on Wednesday 18th April at 6.15pm (local time). Reply
