Store Horses 

Lot 39 : 2yo Gelding by Astarabad ex. Miss Academy (AQPS-Vidéo Rock)
Jehan Bertran de Balanda went to €160,000 for this gelding. "It is a very good line. I had his grandmother, Mademoiselle Wo, who produced Mister No and Miss Palma, the dam of Sister Palma who I also trained. I saw this horse and suggested him to Alan Potts. I am very happy to have bought him." Alan Potts was very active last week at Fairyhouse, when he notably bought a son of Presenting for €320,000. 

The opinion of Anthony Bromley, Highflyer Bloodstock (top buyer)
Anthony Bromley bought five stores for a total of €118,000. These included lot number 25, a 3 year old gelding by Martaline out of Keep Well, for €45,000. "He will go into training with Nicky Henderson, in England. For me, he was the best 3 year old store. He is by Martaline, a stallion that is very here in France and that the English like a lot too. His dam was a good AQPS flat horse and won the Prix Chloris". (Paris-Turf)
