Long View (Ire) (lot 1874), a 3-year-old daughter of Europe's best stallion, Galileo, is on her way to one of America=s best stallions in War Front after Hugo Lascelles bid 1.1 million guineas on behalf of Claiborne Farm's Walker Hancock.
The half-sister to G1 2000 Guineas winner Golan (Ire) and G1 Epsom Derby runner-up Tartan Bearer (Ire) was offered through Jockey Hall Stud and bears the blood of one of her breeder Ballymacoll Stud's finest families. Further back, her forebears include Edinburgh (GB), the grandam of Derby winner North Light (Ire). Long View raced just four times this season, winning at Brighton over 10 furlongs for Sir Michael Stoute.
“She'll be coming back to Claiborne and we're very happy to have her,” offered Hancock, who is making his first visit to Tattersalls for the December Sale. “It's a great Classic family and she=ll be going to War Front.”
At last year's sale, Lascelles purchased Sky Garden (GB), an Acclamation (GB) daughter of top sprinter Superstar Leo (Ire), for 170,000gns on behalf of Claiborne Farm, and Hancock confirmed that she is now in Kentucky and in foal to War Front's son Declaration Of War.
