Offered in foal to Shalaa by Haras du Quesnay, Prix Vulcain (L.) winner OH BEAUTIFUL was knocked down for €85,000. Acting on behalf of Austrian enterprise Sage Stud, Chris Richner had the final say for the daughter of Galileo, that is a half-sister to black-type performers FREEDOM’S LIGHT and FACE THE FACTS from the top class family of HALFWAY TO HEAVEN, MAGICAL and RHODODENDRON.

I’ve bought her for Sage Stud in Austria, said the agent. They’ve been breeding for over 30 years, and have recently bought this stud and entirely renovated it. This is the third year that they have come to ARQANA to buy quality mares.
