MGSW Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}), a winner of the G3 Ballysax S. in April and the G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial S. in May, has been purchased by Masaaki Matsushima and will be pointed toward the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp on Oct. 6, Racing Post reported on Wednesday. Originally owned by a Coolmore partnership and trained by Aidan O'Brien, the G1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. bridesmaid will remain under the care of the Ballydoyle maestro. Yutaka Take has the call in the ParisLongchamp feature. The bay was most recently sixth in the G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on June 29.
“He's a lovely colt and it's great for his new Japanese owner,” O'Brien told Racing Post. “The aim is to go to the Arc but he'll possibly take in the Leger on the way. We'll make up our minds closer to the time.”
