Son of Galileo sells for 3.4 million Guineas

Business was brisk, to say the least at the opening session to Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in Newmarket on Tuesday (9^th October). The headlines were made when Coolmore's MV Magnier dug deep for the most expensive yearling sold in the world for 2018 so far, a brother to Sir Isaac Newton, Secret Gesture and Japan, fetching a cool 3,400,000 guineas.

The colt is a son of Galileo and by Shastye, he is the fourth seven-figure yearling she has produced by my research. Secret Gesture did, of course, go on to sell for $3,500,000 at the end of her career to John Ferguson so the family are proving to be money spinners.
