The Channel Consignment offered ZOMARA through the ring, a half-sister to last season’s Derby du Languedoc (L.) winner MERVEILLO, from the family of the very talented performers ECTOT and MOST IMPROVED. Bidding on behalf of Yeomanstown Stud, Alain Decrion had the final say at €140,000 for the daughter of Dubawi, in foal to Haras d’Etreham’s young sire Persian King.

She’ll go to Yeomanstown Stud in Ireland, said the agent. They have a range of stallions there, so there is a lot of choice for her.
