FORCA Brasil, bred by Joe and June Staunton, won on his belated debut at Newmarket to give Tally-Ho Stud’s Cotai Glory his first winner, thus joining Caravaggio, Profitable and Ardad among the successful first-season sires.

This €6,500 Goffs foal, and it took a private transaction to complete the sale, transformed into a 60,000gns yearling purchase by Robson Aguair. This increase in value was helped by the emergence of the colt’s half-brother Muker (Mehmas) last year.
