Wild Card entry Moi Meme, a daughter of Teofilo who won this year's Prix de Liancourt (Listed) at Longchamp for Pascal Bary and owner-breeder Francesca Vittadini, proved in high demand and Newmarket-based trainer Stuart Williams had to go to €440,000 to have the last word. A half-sister to another Listed winner, the three-year-old is from a solid Italian family.

I have bought her for David Shekells' Old Mill Stud in Chippenham, stated Williams. She is a black type winner from a good family in which there are still plenty of active daughter so hopefully she will become a foundation mare for them. I was underbidder on Abilene (lot 138) earlier on and this was my final bid so I am happy to take her home.
