AShe was a very well-balanced filly and, to my eye, she was as clean as a whis- tle and vetted that way as well,@ McDonald said. AI liked her form, and was looking for something to race on the grass in California for a client and then be bred from one day.@ Reiley McDonald Also heading to the West Coast is Group 1-placed juvenile Singapore Lilly (Ire) (Mujadil--Swallow Falls {Ire}, by Lake Coniston {Ire}) (lot 1479), who was knocked down to trainer Jim Cassidy for 210,000gns.
