A strapping colt from the first crop of Golden Slipper hero Sepoy went the way of Blandford Bloodstock's Richard Brown for €300,000. From the family of smart sprinters Zelding, Zipping, Fire Lily, Beauty Is Truth, as well as 2016 Ranvet Stakes scorer The United States, the chesnut had been bought for €30,000 at the Arqana August Sale.

Sepoy was an exptional racehorse who has made a great start to his stud career. He had an impressive winner at Newmarket this week and is going to be a top stallion I think. This colt is all his sire and did a very good breeze so I am delighted to have him, stated Brown.
