The consistent G2 Sapphire Stakes heroine and Breeders' Cup starter Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) (lot 1740) brought a final bid of 3,000,000gns from MV Magnier to take the lead during the Tattersalls December Mares Sale. Part of the Highclere Stud consignment, the 3-year-old filly was placed in a trio of Group 1 sprints in three consecutive months: the Nunthorpe Stakes (August), the Flying Five Stakes (September), and the Prix de l'Abbaye in October. Bred by M. Mullen and Cloneymore Farm, she was third in the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup last term at three. Highclere Agency paid 115,000gns for the multiple stakes winner out of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale as a juvenile in 2022. Believing was a 70,000gns yearling buy by JC Bloodstock at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
