Offered by Jean-Pierre and Guillaume Garcon's Haras de l'Hotellerie, lot 498 commanded €100,000 from Ghislain Bozo's Meridian International after the agent outbid Marc-Antoine Berghgracht and Fabrice Chappet. By the red-hot Zoffany, the colt hails from the family of the Stakes-winning juveniles SILVA and Classic heroine SILVERMINE.
He is a magnificent athlete who uses himself very well, commented Bozo. I had seen him several times before the sale and he improved a lot over the past few weeks.
