Wadyhatta, a four-year-old daughter of Cape Cross offered by Haras du Mézeray in foal to Authorized, was the centre of a protracted bidding battle with participants from all around the ring, but it was Robert Nataf who prevailed when offering €275,000. Wadyhatta carried the colours of Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum to victory on two occasions, and she is a half-sister to two Listed performers. Their dam Thamarat, herself a Listed-placed juvenile, is a half-sister to the dual Group 1 winning miler TAMAYUZ. The family traces back to one of the most influential mares in the stud book in Allegretta, meaning that URBAN SEA, SEA THE STARS, GALILEO, BORN TO SEA, KING'S BEST and ANABAA BLUE all feature on the page.

You only need to look at her page to understand why I wanted her, commented Nataf. She will foal down in France before shipping to America to be covered by one of Coolmore's stallions.
