EUGENE Daly’s Longview Stud had a great week, their eight yearlings all changing hands for a total of £775,000 and placing them fourth among the leading vendors by aggregate at the end of the Premier Sale’s two sessions. Three of the lots sold for six-figure sums and two were purchased by Shadwell.

Angus Gold’s £200,000 bid secured the highlight of the draft, a son of Siyouni out of the winning Acclamation mare Aristotelcienne. This half-brother to Richard Hughes’s 2019 juvenile winner Aussie Showstopper was bred by Ed’s Stud Ltd. Also bred by the same entity was the other Shadwell purchase, a son of Iffraaj out of the stakes-winning Kodiac mare Riskit Fora Biskit, and he cost £150,000.

The vendors had great updates for their daughter of Muhaarar out of Fig Roll, a listed two-year-old winner and daughter of another such winner in the Acclamation mare Cake. Fig Roll’s three-year-old Grisons won this year, while her Siyouni juvenile sibling Al Raya, who sold for a record £450,000 at the Goffs UK Breeze Up, is a winner and stakes-placed.

Longways Stables pinhooked Al Raya who cost them £95,000, but this time Mick Murphy and Sarah O’Connell had to go to £170,000 to secure the Muhaarar. They will be hoping to strike gold again.

Only one of the eight yearlings from Longview was pinhooked, the €52,000 Kodiac filly foal purchase realising £65,000, while a daughter of Acclamation cost Peter & Ross Doyle Bloodstock £82,000, a Footstepsinthesand filly sold to Dermot Farrington for £50,000, a Dutch Art colt realised £30,000 and a Helmet colt traded for just £8,000.
