The winner of the Gr.3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte in the colours of Rebecca Hillen after the catalogue was printed, the Motivator filly Banzari will continue her racing carer in America after selling to James Delahooke on behalf of celebrity chef Bobby for €400,000.

It is my first purchase in France, commented Flay. I liked her pedigree, which is obviously important from a breeding perspective, but also her race record. In my opinion her trainer [Henri-Francois Devin] did a magnificent job with her. We have bought her with the E.P. Taylor Stakes in mind but I don't know yet who will train her.
