Bidding beside Deauville trainer Yann Barberot, Gitte and Philippe Allaire went to €310,000 for a daughter of Lope de Vega. Consigned by Coulonces, the Haras de Saint-Laurent homebred is out of Listed winner ALZUBRA, that has already produced ARAPAHO, a winner of the Premier Cup (Gr.3) in Australia this season, as well as the black-type ALULA BOREALIS and ATHABASCAN.

She’s a lovely filly, very elegant. We really liked her, as did Yann, said Gitte Allaire. She’s from a great family and a sister to three black-type horses. We also bought Bouttemont, that was bred by Elisabeth and Andre Fabre. We hope the story continues with her!
