00:00From Deauville to Melbourne, the way is shorter than you think.
00:17Arcana-Augustel graduate Goldtrip took the step, winning the 2022 Melbourne Cup.
00:25Lot 214 certainly captured the attention when she stepped on the ring towards the end of Day 2.
00:30The filly by Dubawi, a sister to two Group 1 victors, sprinter Wooded and recent Phoenix Stakes winner Pucaneo Fuerte, made the top prize at 2.4 million euros.
00:41She was a nice filly. She has a few little faults to her, but so did her half-brother last year, who sold cheaply as it turns out.
00:56Hopefully he can go on and win a few more Group 1s. He won very weasley the other day. She's a foundation man.
01:04Hopefully she can win some nice big races. The mayor has produced two Group 1 winners. Hopefully she can be a big Group 1 winner and a nice broodmare.
01:11Maurice Lagasse, who's had the mayor's family for decades, had consistently gone to Wooden Basset before sending her to Dubawi.
01:19She's going to Woodson. Dubawi is too expensive.
01:24Lot 196, a brother to multiple Group performers, the Juliet Rose by Night of Thunder, was knocked down to Richard Brown at 660,000 euros.
01:34He was really the cult for me tonight. I thought he was an absolute smasher. Night of Thunder for me is a stallion that's going to explode in the next couple of years.
01:44The mayor's done it all. She had a very impressive two-year-old winner by Dubawi the other day, won the Stonehenge, and he's come from an exceptional farm.
01:54I haven't bought many horses off Henri over the years because I haven't been able to, but the record of that place speaks for itself. I'm delighted to get him.
02:04Lot 204, a sister to black-type winner Beauvathier by Siyouni, brought 650,000 euros.
02:10She has some lovely action. She has a fantastic presence. Sometimes the big Siyouni can be good, but the small ones are often very good.
02:22She's a sister to Beauvathier with a very promising horse and a really racy filly.
02:29Godolphin secured Lot 195, a colt from the first crop of Gaeaf, out of a full sister to Lockwood.
02:36He's a beautiful, balanced horse. He's by Gaeaf. He was a very good horse for Charlie Alperby, running under the colours of Godolphin.
02:45He's a wonderful racehorse, Gaeaf, and this horse was one of our favourites in the sale.
02:52From one first crop sire to another, a son of ARC winner Sotsas will head to Japan.
02:57Champion trainer Mitsu Nakawashida acquired Lot 183 for 525,000 euros from an emotional Coulombs team.
03:07Me and Charlotte, the girl who was leading her up, we bought the mare five years ago for 16,000.
03:14She was a veteran filly and we found her in the November sales and I said, we don't have a lot of money.
03:20So I said, let's go Charlotte, try to buy a filly out of training and let's try to breed her with the money we had.
03:27And she's actually nearly made us a million euros already, the mare. So this is crazy. I can't wait to see him run.
