The eagerly awaited FABULOUS DRAGONESS was at the origin of a bidding war which eventually went the way of Thierry Délégue (Pégase Bloodstock) for €300,000. A half-sister to the champion BLUE DRAGON and herself a winner of the Prix Jacques de Vienne (Gr.1 AQ) in the colours of Magalen Bryant, she was offered carrying her first foal to Doctor Dino by Haras du Lieu des Champs. Thierry Delegue (Pegase Bloodstock) commented:

She’s a mare that has so many strings to her bow - she has an exceptional pedigree and was a very good performer herself, is young, and in-foal to one of the best stallions. I think to start breeding, which is my client Mr. van Robais’s case, it is hard to do better than this mare. Mr. van Robais is passionate about National Hunt racing and has had good success with his first purchases and now wishes to breed as well.”
