🇸🇦 “He very much looks like a dirt horse. He’s been bought to go to Saudi Arabia.” @BBAIreland’s Michael Donohoe chats to @AlyVance1 about the plans for Yordan, the son of Starman he purchased for 420,000gns from @Consignltd at the #TattsAutumn HIT Sale.

⭐️“You can’t go too far wrong with a Starman filly.” Having come close in the £200,000 #TattsSomerville Auction Stakes this year, @meg_nicholls97 hopes @TallyHoStud’s Starman filly, who she purchased for 75,000gns, could go one or two better if she takes that route 🚀

An exciting prospect !!! The superbly bred SUNDAY GIRL (Frankel) is off the mark on her second start. Her debut run was more than a year ago. She is the 1/2 sister to top sprinter & stallion STARMAN Frankel has now sired 799th different winners.
