Godolphin Tops Tattersalls Opener With 3.7m gns Colt as Amo Racing Strikes for 3.6m gns Frankel

Early seven-figure buys from top owners signal resilient demand for blue-chip pedigrees.

Overview

  • Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin paid 3,700,000gns for a Sea The Stars colt, the priciest yearling by the sire and joint-fifth costliest in Book 1 history.
  • Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing beat Coolmore to a 3,600,000gns Frankel colt, a full-brother to last year’s top lot out of Royal Ascot winner Aljazzi.
  • Opening-day trade produced multiple million-guineas lots as global heavyweights including Godolphin, Amo Racing and Coolmore competed for elite families.
  • Godolphin returned early on day two to buy a 2,200,000gns Frankel colt from Fittocks Stud, after investing 9,300,000gns across ten yearlings on day one.
  • The sale tests last year’s record-setting benchmarks, with leading consignors such as Newsells Park Stud noting strong international interest and confidence in top pedigrees.
