Notable absentees from the first-day buyers' sheet at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, the Coolmore partners made their second seven-figure purchase of Wednesday's session when going to 1,700,000gns for the No Nay Never colt out of the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Millisle (Starspangledbanner).Consigned by Watership Down Stud, lot 266 is the third foal out of Millisle, who also won the G3 Ballyogan Stakes as a three-year-old. Her first foal, Alfareqa (Frankel), successful once in five career starts, was herself a Book 1 yearling when bought by Shadwell for 1,600,000gns in 2023.Simon Marsh, manager of Watership Down Stud, said of the No Nay Never colt, “To get all the stars to align is very difficult, but this is a lovely horse and he was on a lot of lists. It is a wonderful price, but now we need him to be a good racehorse.”MV Magnier and White Birch Farm signed for lot 266, as they did the Dubawi filly out of Group 1 winner Lady Bowthorpe [lot 218] for 1,300,000gns earlier in the session.Another purchase was lot 230, Glenvale Stud's half-brother to G1 Flying Five Stakes winner Arizona Blaze (Sergei Prokofiev), who fetched 500,000gns. He belongs to the first crop of Coolmore stallion Blackbeard, a son of No Nay Never.“No Nay Never is having another great year with the likes of Charles Darwin, who's very good, and True Love,” said Magnier. “The mare was very good.”He added, “Blackbeard is having a good sale and there's plenty of good word for the Little Big Bear foals. The best ones by Blackbeard that we have will be going to Ballydoyle. We bought the Blackbeard half-brother to Arizona Blaze earlier today. He is a very good horse – Flash [Conroy] always spoke very highly of him.”The post ‘It Is A Wonderful Price’ – Regally-Bred No Nay Never Colt Sells to Coolmore for 1.7m Gns appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
