WEDNESDAY, 10 OCTOBER 2018 third foal was the G2 Middleton S. winner and multiple Classic- SHASTYE SHINES AGAIN placed Secret Gesture (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), who was raced by Newsells in partnership with Qatar Racing before being sold to AT TATTERSALLS John Ferguson for $3.5 million at Keeneland November in 2016. In the interim, Shastye had enjoyed three blockbuster sales on the back of Secret Gesture=s racetrack success: MV Magnier had bought Sir Isaac Newton for 3.6 million gns in 2013; Charlie Gordon-Watson had spent 800,000gns on the Street Cry (Ire) filly Secret Soul (GB) in 2015; and David Redvers had bought another filly, Secret Gaze (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), for 1.35 million gns at this sale two years ago. After producing three consecutive fillies, Shastye threw another Galileo colt in 2016, and that one was again scooped up by MV Magnier for 1.3 million gns here last year. That is looking like a solid investment with the colt, now named Japan (GB), the winner of two races since the catalogued was printed, including the G2 Beresford S. on Sept. 30.
