Galileo Son of Prudenzia Lights Up Deauville
The Galileo colt out of Ecurie des Monceaux’s crown jewel Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) shot to the top of the leaderboard during Thursday’s second session of the Deauville Select Yearling Sale when hammered down to MV Magnier for €2,000,000, with David Redvers the underbidder. Magnier is plenty familiar with the family, having bought the colt’s full-sister, Group 1 winner Magic Wand (Ire), for €1.4-million to top this sale in 2016 and their Classic-winning three-quarter sister Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) to join the Coolmore broodmare band for €6-million from Goffs November in 2013.
Monceaux has sold the current top colt and filly at the sale, with a Siyouni (Fr) filly out of Polygreen (Fr) (Green Tune) having been bought by Jean-Claude Rouget on behalf of America’s Gainesway Farm for €700,000 just a few lots earlier.

Midnight Storm Filly Tops CTHS British Columbia Summer Mixed Sale
The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (British Columbia Division) Summer Mixed Sale took place Tuesday, Sept. 8, led by a yearling filly from the first crop of Midnight Storm who sold for $46,000 (Canadian).
A total of 49 horses changed hands on Wednesday for revenues of $639,600, down 40 percent from last year's sale when 64 horses brought $1,065,500.

The sale-topper was purchased by Swift Thoroughbreds Inc. Offered as Hip 75, the dark bay or brown filly is out of the winning Yankee Gentleman mare Harmony Creator, whose four foals to race are all winners, including British Columbian year-end award winner Architecture and stakes-placed Tiptoe.
The Kentucky-bred hails from the family of Grade 1-placed stakes winner Lacquaria. Whitewood Farm consigned her, as agent.
The day's second-highest price came for Hip 43, a yearling Midnight Lute colt who sold to Peter Redekop B.C. Ltd., for $40,000.
The bay colt is out of the unraced Quality Road mare Unattended, whose first foal to race is the stakes winner At Attention. The British Columbia-bred's second dam is the Grade 2 winner Go Go, who is the pivot point for runners including Grade 3 winner Miss Kentucky, and graded/group stakes-placed runners Miss Mittagong and Energia Infinity.
Bryan and Carol Anderson's Wild Rose Farm consigned the colt.

September HIT Sale Given Green Light
Next Tuesday’s Goffs UK September HIT Sale will be permitted to proceed despite recent changes to the government’s COVID policies. Doncaster Racecourse’s St Leger Meeting had been set to welcome a limited number of fans through the weekend as part of a pilot project to welcome spectators back to sporting events, but the project was cut short after just one day on Wednesday by the Doncaster Council after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement of new protocols.
Goffs UK said on Thursday that the sale will follow an enhanced set of health and safety protocols. Seven supplementary entries have been added to the catalogue of 304.
