THE enormous draft from Godolphin, only bettered in size by that of The Castlebridge Consignment, contained many gems, and no doubt a few bargains too. Footprints was the most expensive of their sales at 260,000gns, and one of 11 to bring a six-figure sum.

Three of this group were all sold within minutes of each other. The unraced Cheradi is a Dubawi own-sister to Territories, winner of the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat, runner-up in the Group 1 2000 Guineas and now a Group 1 sire. She was sold for 190,000gns to Breckenridge Ventures.
