LUKE Comer paid just €2,500 to acquire the Dansili (Danehill) mare Janoubi, in foal to Canford Cliffs (Tagula), at the 2016 Goffs November Sale. She was one of a number of inexpensive mare purchases made by Comer, but she is one that has now hit the jackpot.

The foal she was carrying was a filly, born early last year, but at the time of her sale Janoubi had produced just a minor winner in Italy, Arkansas Slim (Montjeu) from only two named foals.
