The Hong Kong Jockey Club purchased one horse at the BBAG Baden-Baden Premier Yearling Sale in Germany last Friday (4 September), a colt by the four-time G1 winner Soldier Hollow.
The youngster, catalogued as Lot 94, was knocked down for €180,000. His sire, a son of In The Wings, was a stakes winner in each season he raced, from ages two to seven, and has produced the top-class gallopers Pastorius and Ivanhowe, as well as the three-time Hong Kong winner Bullish Smart.
C’est l’amour, the colt’s dam, is a winning daughter of the 1995 G2 Preis der Diana heroine Centaine.
