The dispersal of Issam Fares's stock, consigned by his Haras de Manneville, caused a quick succession of fireworks in the ring, starting with a Camelot yearling filly who is the second foal out of Gr.2 Prix de Pomone heroine BAINO HOPE. The bay, who is just two days short of her actual first birthday, went the way of Haras des Capucines's Eric Puerari for a final bid of €160,000.

She has a lot of quality about her and I am very fond of Camelot, said Puerari. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to buy such a quality filly. She's been bought with a group of friends and will be re-offered later in the year.
