The second seven-figure yearling tracing to Platonic (GB) (Zafonic) to sell on Sunday and the new sale topper, lot 270, a filly by St Mark's Basilica (Fr), caught the eye of MV Magnier for €1.7 million. Another consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux, the bay filly is a half-sister to Group 1 winners Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Out of listed winner Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Pacifique (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), the filly is also a half-sister to Group 3 winner Philomene (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Like lot 249, she was bred by Monceaux and Skymarc Farm.
