There may have been an unfamiliar feel to the start of this year s February Sale, with Covid-19 restrictions forcing Tattersalls to hold the two-day auction entirely online, but once selling got under way there was a distinct sense of business as usual, with offerings from the Godolphin draft once again proving a major draw.
The consignment from Sheikh Mohammed s operation duly supplied Thursday s session topper as Avenue Bloodstock s Mark McStay went to 120,000gns for the well-related Beautiful Illusion.
The four-year-old daughter of Shamardal was a talented runner while under the care of Charlie Appleby, winning twice on the all-weather at three. She was last seen running in France having switched to the stable of Henri-Alex Pantall.
