Elusive Quality colt highlights St Leger Sale's second session

Elusive Quality colt highlights St Leger Sale's second

session

A son of Elusive Quality shone brightest on Wednesday during the

second session of Doncaster's St Leger Sale, selling for

£145,000 to Richard

O'Gorman Bloodstock. Consigned as Hip No. 245 by Brendan Holland's Grove Stud, the

colt cost Holland $55,000 as a Keeneland November weanling.

Out of 1991 Molecomb S. (Eng-G3) winner Sahara Star

(GB) (Green Desert), the colt is a half-brother to the Flying Childers

S. (Eng-G2) winner Land of Dreams (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux), who is herself the dam of

Group 3-placed listed winner Into the Dark (Rainbow Quest). Dick O'Gorman, who had been prominent on the opening day, denied trainer Bryan

Smart to secure the February-foaled bay.

On a day when demand for colts dominated proceedings, an offering by Night

Shift, from the draft of Westerlands Stud, was the sole filly to make six

figures. Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock went to

£115,000 for Hip 196, the

half-sister to this year's Richmond S. (Eng-G2) winner Profilic (Compton Place) from the family of 2000 Royal Lodge S.

(Eng-G2) winner Atlantis Prince (Tagula).

Trainer William Knight was the underbidder on the filly, who is out of the

winning Photo Flash (Bahamian Bounty).

Numbers were down across the board, as the session aggregate totaled

£5,036,500, the average was

£37,868 and the median

reached £30,000 for 165 yearlings sold.

Selling continues Thursday. Full results are available on
