Consigned by Razza Vedano, the Mar. 6 foal (lot 28), named Rinnovati (Ity), is a half-sister to the two-time stakes winner Amalaura (Ire) (Raven's Pass). Another half-sister, the Saxon Warrior (Jpn) filly Rage Of Bamby (Ire) graduated at Leicester on Sept. 6.

Bozzi also struck for seven other lots on Saturday, shelling out €90,000 for another Vedano draftee in lot 25, a son of Sea The Stars (Ire) out of Listed Premio Terme di Merano heroine Orange Sun (GB) (Duke Of Marmalade {Ire}). That sire had topped the 2021 edition of the sale with a €120,000 colt. Originally a 30,000gns Tatteralls December foal, the colt is a half-brother to a pair of winners. Third dam Field Of Hope (Ire) (Selkirk)'s best day in the sun was a victory in the 1999 G1 Prix de la Foret.

She had passed through the Arqana December ring for €85,000 as a foal. Her dam was twice stakes-placed, and is a half-sister to group winners Voice Of Love (Ire) (Poet's Voice {GB}) and Time Chant (GB) (War Chant).

Le.Gi. was also the consignor on record for lot 32, a Gleneagles (Ire) filly, who made €76,000 on the bid of Immobiliare Casa Paola. She had been a €30,000 Goffs November buyback last year. The daughter of Sopran Enery (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) is a half-sister to the G2 Premio Oaks d'Italia winner Auyantepui (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), while under the G3 Italian 1000 Guineas-winning second dam Sopran Londa (Ire) (Danehill) is the G1 Italian Derby hero Cima De Triomphe (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) among others.

Gustav Klimt Sires First Winner In Milan

3rd-San Siro, €7,700, Vdn., 6-28, 2yo, 1400mT, 1:30.20.
SOPRAN BLAKEY (IRE) (c, 2, Gustav Klimt {Ire}–Perino {Ire}, by Speightstown), who was making his debut, was sent off at 2-1. Sitting in a stalking third, the bay temporarily lost his position rounding the bend but was skipping along nicely as the field straightened for the drive. He sidled up to favoured longtime leader Foxy Lady (Ity) (Lord Chaparral {Ire}) a furlong from the wire, before cruising past her to win in a canter by 4 1/2 lengths. He is the first winner for his G2 Superlative S.-winning first-season sire (by Galileo {Ire}), who also placed four times at Group 1 level. The seventh foal and second winner for his dam, who won one race as a 3-year-old, Tuesday's winner is her last reported foal. Perino is a half-sister to the Listed Kilboy Estate S. victress Adaala (Sahm), herself the granddam of G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. and G3 Desmond S. scorer Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), who filled the runner-up spot in the 2019 G1 Derby, as well as 2016 G1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}). The versatile female family is led by Fair Grounds Oaks heroine My Charmer (Poker), Sopran Blakey's fourth dam. Her best foal was the 1977 American Triple Crown hero and Horse of the Year Seattle Slew (Bold Reasoning), who went on to be an outstanding sire and leave a notable impact on the breed, while she also foaled 1983 G1 2000 Guineas winner Lomond to the cover of Northern Dancer. Sales history: €5,000 Wlg '20 GOFDEC. Lifetime Record:1-1-0-0, €2,975. *1ST-TIME STARTER.
O-Leonardo Ciampoli. B-Old Carhue Stud (Ire). T-Grizzetti Galoppo SRL.
