Lot 1
Bay filly Siyouni - Fabulous (Galileo)
The Castlebridge Consignment

A filly by Siyouni bred on the famed nick with Galileo, who happens to possess one of the best pedigrees in the book, it is not hard to see the huge appeal with the very first lot into the ring. 

The bay is out of Fabulous, a Galileo sister to two stakes performers, but more importantly a half-sister to top-class racehorse and sire Giant’s Causeway, as well as blue hen You’resothrilling, both by Storm Cat. You'resothrilling is the dam of nine Group winners or performers from nine runners, headed by Classic winner and sire Gleneagles and his fellow Classic and/or Group 1-winning sisters Marvellous, Happily and Joan Of Arc. Another of Fabulous’s half-siblings was Pearling, dam of Irish Champion Stakes victor Decorated Knight.

Fabulous has proved herself to be a top-class broodmare as she is the dam of brilliant stayer Scandinavia, a winner of this year’s Gold Cup at Ascot and the dominant force in the division, plus last year’s St Leger and Goodwood Cup. Fabulous has produced another Group 1 winner in Above The Curve. 

The family also received a huge update at the Arqana August Yearling Sale this summer. The record-breaking €4.6 million sale-topper, Ecurie des Monceaux’s Wootton Bassett colt, is out of a Justify sister to Scandinavia.

B f New Bay - Livia’s Dream (Teofilo)
Stauffenberg Bloodstock

This filly topped last year’s Goffs November Foal Sale when making €650,000 to Philipp Stauffenberg and, given her outstanding pedigree, it is not exactly hard to see her making even more here.

The Teofilo mare is the dam of dual Group 1 winner Dreamloper, as well as 2026 black-type winners in Jockey Club Stakes winner and Prix Vicomtesse Vigier runner-up Santorini Star and Hedge Of Oak Stakes winner Dreamasar. Those fillies are by three different sires, while Dreamloper’s Lope De Vega sister, Dream Vega, ran out a ready winner on her third start and should have more to offer.
