Dark Angel foal for Railton/Stauffenberg partnership at €230K

A compact colt by red-hot sire Dark Angel out of the Listed winner Trip To The Moon, who has already produced Gr.3 Prix Vanteaux heroine Trois Lunes, was the centre of a lot of attention and it took a €230,000 bid from Philip von Stauffenberg to outbid Matt Coleman. Stauffenberg was bidding in company with Jaimie Railton for the Haras du Cadran offering, and the duo explained:

We have bought this colt in partnership and he will go to Ecurie des Monceaux to be prepared for next year's sales. We have started buying foals together this year and already have several purchases. This is a lovely foal by a sire that all buyers seem to love! We expected him to make that sort of money.
