The October Yearling Sale continued on Thursday with the second half of Part II of the catalogue. Offered from Haras de l’Hotellerie, a son of Toronado out of the black-type DIYAKALANIE was knocked down for €130,000. It was trainer Joël Boisnard that had the final say for the half-brother to the black-type performer DREAM DY and to this season’s Groupe placed MOON WOLF.
In my career as a trainer, her dam has been the best mare I’ve trained so far, said Joel Boisnard. I’ve trained one of her sons and I think this one is made to run at Auteuil. I’ve bought him for Xavier Papot - he’s a lovely horse that has vetted well and all the lights are green with him.
A little later in the day, Amanda Skiffington came up against Carlos and Yann Lerner for a daughter of New Bay from Haras de Castillon. It was the former that had the final say at €120,000 for the filly that hails from the family of Group winners SUDAN and SPECIAL HAPPENING. She said,
