A WEEK after Velozee gave her sire his first juvenile stakes winner of 2026, with a win in the Listed First Flier Stakes at the Curragh, Coolmore’s Sioux Nation (Scat Daddy) captured headlines on three occasions last weekend.

A daughter of his topped the Arqana Breeze-Up Sale on Saturday when making €1.1 million to Stroud Coleman Bloodstock. The juvenile was consigned by Glending Stables, Roderic Kavanagh’s operation which sold Sioux Nation’s Group 2 Rockfel Stakes winner for €1 million at the sale last year. This year’s sale-topper was a 98,000gns yearling purchase.
