Michael Donohoe (BBA Ireland) went to €150,000 for the Carlos Laffon-Parias trained ZILEO. Fourth in the Derby du Languedoc (L.) after the catalogue was published, the Wertheimer & Frère three-year-old homebred hails from the family of triple US graded winner FANTASTIC FIND.

He’ll go to Ireland to be trained by Michael Halford, commented the agent. He’ll be gelded and we’ll give him a bit of time. His new owner wishes to run in Dubai, so that’ll be his objective next year.
