BOW Echo fuelled dreams of classic glory in 2026 when maintaining a perfect record in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes last month and encouraged Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum to stretch to 800,000gns for another son of Night Of Thunder on the third and final day of Tattersalls Book 2.

Bought through Bow Echo’s trainer, George Boughey, New England Stud’s offering was the highest-priced colt of the three-day sale, with top lot honours retained by Tuesday’s Starspangledbanner filly from Islanmore Stud at 900,000gns.
