The final opportunity to acquire a son of Scat Daddy's ultimate crop in a sales ring materialised in a relentless duel between Nicolas de Watrigant and Jamie McCalmont, who was standing alongside Coolmore's Mathieu Legars, taking instructions over the phone. The former owners of the late stallion had the final say with a bid of €825,000 for a colt offered by Willie Browne's Mocklershill. He is from the family of US Graded winners ALLAMERICAN BERTIE, HURRICANE BERTIE as well as BEACH PATROL who ran 2nd in the Gr.1 Turf Classic after the catalogue was printed.

A delighted McCalmont commented:

This was the very last opportunity to buy a colt such a great sire, wasn't it? Scat Daddy was an outstanding racehorse who turned into an outstanding sire and is even turning into a sire of sires - No Nay Never had another winner this afternoon and seems to be really taking of. It is very sad that he is no longer around. This horse didn't look like he would go as fast as he did, which I think is a good thing. He's been bought for the Coolmore partners.
