M.V. MAGNIER will rarely spend €680,000 as wisely as he did at the Goffs Orby Sale in 2013, when he purchased a daughter of Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) and the unraced Green Room (Theatrical) from Ballylinch Stud.

The then half-sister to Group 1 Prix Jean Prat winner Lord Shanakill (Speightstown) was named Together Forever, and the following year she won the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket. She looked to be even more of a bargain when her full-sister, Forever Together (Galileo), gained her only victory in the Group 1 Oaks at Epsom.
