HALF a dozen foals sold for six-figure sums and two of them were by Dabirsim, sire of a pair of stakes winners with his first crop racing in 2017. Haras du Petit Tellier sold a half-brother to stakes winners Stone Roses and Straight Right for €260,000 and the colt is now in the ownership of Godolphin.

Mags O’Toole paid €100,000 for a filly by Dabirsim, this one being a half-sister to dual German stakes winner and classic-placed Acadius. She was consigned by Haras du Quesnay. That farm also sold a daughter of leading sire Siyouni, the first foal of a stakes-placed mare, to Haras du Saubouas for €105,000.
