MV Magnier Pays 1.15m Gns For Son Of Frankel At Tattersalls December

Lot 882 is a son of Frankel and Cloudy Dawn | de Burgh Productions

A grey son of Frankel became the first seven-figure lot of the Tattersalls December Foal Sale when selling for 1,150,000gns to MV Magnier.

Lot 882 was consigned by West Blagdon Stud and is a son of the G3 Prix de Lieurey heroine Cloudy Dawn (Kodiac). He was bred by James Wigan.

Under the third dam is Group 1 winner and celebrated producer Grey Lilas (Danehill).

“A great result for James Wigan – he is one of the best breeders there is,” said MV Magnier. “It's a great farm and they have a great track record of raising very good horses. Frankel is a very good stallion, as you all know, and a lot of sons of Galileo are doing well at stud. We'll bring him back home and we'll review what we do in the summer but I would say most likely he will go to Ballydoyle. It's a lot of money for him but, I suppose when you breed a horse like that, the Wigans deserved to get that price.”
