A daughter of Galileo (Ire) sells for 1.1million euros at the Arqana August Yearling Sale. Out of the Listed winner Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), the April-foaled bay was bought by Agence FIPS, with the bidding undertaken by the South West trainer Michel Cheno. "She has been bought for an undisclosed client and is a remarkably good-looking filly with a very strong pedigree," he said. "She will always have residual value, so it is probably better to buy such a filly at this price rather than a colt."
