WHAT was victory for Apple Betty in the Listed Prix Caravelle – Haras des Granges at Toulouse worth? The Joe Allen-owned three-year-old daughter of Galileo picked up a winner’s cheque for some €27,500 but probably added a minimum of 20 times that to her sale value.

She is now a stakes-winning full-sister to two other stakes winners, the best of which was Magician. The Ashford Stud stallion has his first foals on the ground and stands for $10,000 at the Coolmore owned farm in Kentucky. Winner of the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas from Gale Force Ten and Trading Leather, he capped his second season with a victory over The Fugue in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. At four he was runner-up in both the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Prince of Wales’s Stakes.
