BY some distance, and setting a new record for the BBAG Yearling Sale, a son of Camelot sold to Godolphin last Friday, their representative Anthony Stroud seeing off opposition from Coolmore, Alex Elliott and Joseph O’Brien to secure the catalogue’s outstanding offering.

The new record is now set at €850,000, surpassing by €30,000 the old mark which was achieved on two occasions, in 2019 and the following year, and both times by daughters of Sea The Stars. After he signed for the colt, by a large margin the best of the six lots sold by Gestüt Brümmerhof, Stroud revealed that the colt would join Charlie Appleby.
