A familiar face at the sales, the agent Guy Petit bought 14 lots during the day, led by MOMBASA (lot 500). Added to the catalogue as a Wild card following his win in the  Prix Stanley (L.), the unbeaten gelding trained by François Nicolle was knocked down for €250,000. The well bred three-year-old son of Martaline is from the close family of MOISES HAS, MOCALACATO HAS and MOMITA HAS.

I've bought him for David Maxwell, said Guy Petit. His progression from his win a La Teste and at Auteuil was impressive, which is a good sign for the rest of his career.
