CATHAL Ennis of Quill Farm will be selling a Milan colt foal out of Miss Arteea at the Tattersalls Ireland November Sale on Wednesday as Lot 627 and the pedigree improved at the recent Down Royal meeting when his half-brother Identity Thief landed the Grade 2 WKD Hurdle on just his sixth start. This was the Kayf Tara gelding’s third win and he is clearly a horse with a bright future.

Carrying the Gigginstown House colours and trained for Michael O’Leary by Henry de Bromhead, Identity Thief is the second winner from just two runners for his dam Miss Arteea. The year before he was born his half-brother Oscarteaa was foaled and he earned black type when runner-up on his most recent start in a listed novices’ hurdle at Haydock.
