00:00A new format, an exciting catalogue, and buyers returning to Deauville, some of them for the
00:09first time in a few years.
00:11All these factors combined made for an exceptional August sale.
00:15For the second night in a row, a yearling reached the 2 million euro mark.
00:19Lot 292, a son of Dubawi, out of Group 3 winner Golden Valentine, topped the sale for Godolphin.
00:26An exceptional horse, very light in his feet, and Dubawi, brilliant, and we thought he was,
00:38we all, David, I, the boss, we all thought he was the most lovely horse, and Charlie,
00:46yeah, everyone, all the team, thought he was the one we really wanted to get, yeah.
00:54The Godolphin team ended top buyer of the session with four purchases for a total of
00:583,375,000 euros, including lot 259, a brother of the Juliet Rose by Dubawi.
01:08In a competitive session, Oliver St. Lawrence secured lot 249 for 800,000 euros.
01:14The son of Kingman from the maternal line of Holmonzore and Dargina was bred and sold
01:20by Arad Saint-Père.
01:21Andreas Putsch is a great breeder, and we love the horse from the very first time, and
01:27he's going to go to William Haggis, who was here over the weekend, and he loved William.
01:31He's just a lovely, lovely colt, really liked him.
01:34Lot 247, the first offspring of a black type winning sister to Royal Marine and Secret
01:39Ambition by Frankel, was knocked down to Charlie Gordon Watson for 650,000 euros.
01:45Frankel-Dubawi cross is the best, I mean, the statistics, the potentials for group winners
01:51is phenomenal, and she was a fantastic individual.
01:54She had an exceptionally good first foal, she vetted very well, and she has a very good
01:59back pedigree, and we like Frankel, and Frankel is a group one and a group three winner yesterday,
02:05and they get better every day, and he's the best stallion there is.
02:08She'll go back to England, and then she'll either probably go to John Goldstone or Andre
02:14Favre, but we'll decide later.
02:16Lot 297, a full brother to Friendly Face by Galileo, was acquired by Coolmore and White
02:21Birch Farm for 650,000 euros.
02:25He's a very nice horse, and everybody seemed to really like him, and we're going to bring
02:30him home, and he will end up in Ballydore.
02:33It looks like we have a couple of good two-year-olds by Galileo this year, so Aidan's pretty excited
02:41about a few of them, and so is Donika.
02:44Impressive indicators for the three-day sale include over 50 million euros in turnover,
02:50an average price of 210,000 euros, and a clearance rate of 84%.
