This proved to be a first foal for the Shamardal mare Sunrise Star, whose Showcasing colt (Lot 1115) remained the property of breeder Lady Bamford until the hammer fell following a 110,000gns bid by bloodstock agent Richard Knight. Now a five- year-old, Sunrise Star was an honest performer for Sir Henry and then Lady Cecil, making the frame each time she ran and winning one of six starts. Knight said of his purchase: “He’s for resale, probably in [the October Sale] Book 2, and was the nicest horse here today. He’ll stay in the UK for now. He was big enough for a first foal, the stallion has had a good year, and the dam was rated 65 over six furlongs, so there is speed as well.” MAB Agency added to Dukes Stud’s pleasure when paying 95,000gns for an Iffraaj filly (Lot 1117), who was owned in partnership by Wyatt and Overbury Stud’s Simon Sweeting.
