Placed in the Prix Congress (Gr.2) and Prix Vatelys (L.) last season, IAMASTAR was knocked down for €110,000 in favour of Guy Petit. Most recently runner-up in the  Prix Philippe Ménager (L.) at Auteuil and entered in the Prix Ferdinand Dufaure (Gr.1) this weekend, the four-year-old son of Balko is out of the very talented  VICTORIA’S STAR. 

I’ve bought him for David Maxwell, said the agent. He’s a horse that we are not taking risks with and is still a novice over fences. He’ll go to Philip Hobbs.
