It was a familiar story when Baroda Stud's Frankel (GB) colt entered the ring during Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale on Tuesday, with Amo Racing coming out on top with a bid of 1,100,000gns. Lot 85 was the third yearling of the session to be sold to the team led by Kia Joorabchian for a seven-figure sum, all by Frankel. Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest football club, has been standing alongside Joorabchian all day.
This colt is out of the winning Oasis Dream (GB) mare Atone (GB), already the dam of the G3 Park Express Stakes runner-up Redressed (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}). Atone is also a full-sister to Juddmonte's multiple Group 1 heroine Midday (GB)–herself the dam of three black-type winners–and a half to the G3 Hoppings Stakes winner Sun Maiden (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and the G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes scorer Hot Snap (GB) (Pivotal {GB}).
💰Amo Racing have been very busy and are responsible for purchasing the three millionaire yearlings so far at #TattsOctober Book 1 Sale.
