A few lots later, Anthony Stroud made his presence felt once again, this time for a son of Frankel out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner PALACE EPISODE from Haras d’Etreham. He had the final say at €260,000 for the colt from the family of Group scorers LAUGHING LASHES, TEJANO RUN, MORE ROYALE and SPRING IN THE AIR. Stroud said,

He’s a lovely colt by Frankel, with a lovely pedigree. He ticks all the boxes and will be trained by Simon Crisford. We’re very happy.
