Blue Diamond Stud's Frankel (GB) colt out of Tisa River (Ire) (Equiano {Fr}) provided an early highlight as the Goffs Orby Sale got underway when knocked down at €780,000 to Oliver St Lawrence.
Offered as lot 10 and bred by Imad Al Sagar, the colt's dam is a half-sister to two Breeders' Cup winners in Order Of Australia (Ire) and Iridessa (Ire), as well as the G1 Belmont Oaks and G1 Beverly D winner Santa Barbara (Ire). A further Breeders' Cup winner, Starine (Fr), features as his third dam.
St Lawrence could not divulge the name of the buyer of the colt.
