Charlie Gordon-Watson signed the ticket on behalf of MV Magnier for the youngster, who was bred by Fastnet Stud out of the winning Idle Chatter. The Galileo mare is a half-sister to the Group 1-placed Vol De Nuit and the dam of two winners from as many to race.
"I bought this filly privately from the breeder, she was withdrawn from the foal sales because she had a nasty cut," said McDowall.
"I used to pinhook with Grove Stud. I was Grove Stud's breeze-up jockey for six or so seasons. I don't usually buy foals on my own but last year I had a broken arm so I couldn't really do our list, so I did as much as I could and then poked around and bought a few on my own. I bought three foals at Goffs and this one. I bought one back, one made a lot of money and the other I took a small loss on. Pinhooking; it's all sorts of rollercoasters."

4) Lot 165 - Colt - Scat Daddy x Missamerica Bertie
The final opportunity to acquire a son of Scat
Daddy’s ultimate crop in a sales ring materialised
in a relentless duel between Nicolas de Watrigant
and Jamie McCalmont, who was standing
alongside Coolmore’s Mathieu Legars, taking
instructions over the phone. The former owners
of the late stallion had the final say with a bid
of €825,000 for a colt (lot 165) offered by Willie
Browne’s Mocklershill. He is from the family
of US Graded winners ALLAMERICAN BERTIE,
HURRICANE BERTIE as well as BEACH PATROL
who ran 2nd in the Gr.1 Turf Classic after the
catalogue was printed.
A delighted McCalmont commented: “This was
the very last opportunity to buy a colt such a great
sire, wasn’t it? Scat Daddy was an outstanding
racehorse who turned into an outstanding sire
and is even turning into a sire of sires - No Nay
Never had another winner this afternoon and
seems to be really taking of. It is very sad that he
is no longer around. This horse didn’t look like
he would go as fast as he did, which I think is a
good thing. He’s been bought for the Coolmore
partners.”
Purchased for €825,000 on behalf of Coolmore by Jamie McCalmont.

And now he's doing exceptionally well as a stallion. He's had five Group 1 horses this year and hopefully Washington D C will run at either Ascot [on Champions Day] or in the Breeders' Cup Sprint. "We've been lucky buying off Croom House - they're very good breeders. And he's by a stallion who is doing very well."

Tattersalls Day 1 Round Up By Gina Harding
Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book One Coolmore review By Kingsbarns:
Day 1:
Coolmore, or MV Magnier, got off to a flying start at Tattersalls October yearling sale book one on Tuesday, purchasing 3 very nice sounding yearlings for a combined fee of 1,275,000 guineas. First up was Lot 66, a Montjeu colt out of Mujtahid mare, Splendid. This yearling is a half brother to Group 3 placed Lord High Admiral and his 3rd dam is Balidaress, the dam of Park Appeal and Desirable. Also, Balidaress is an ancestress of Cape Cross amongst many others. M V Magnier was quoted not long after the 575,000 guineas purchase, saying "He's a very nice, athletic horse," and "All the guys really liked him. Montjeu was obviously very good to us and we're trying to find the next Camelot or Pour Moi. Hopefully this lad will do the job." Lot 127 was the next yearling that Coolmore opened the wallet for, a Canford Cliffs colt out of Selkirk mare and Group 3 winner, Welsh Diva. This fella is a half brother to Listed placed, Fityaan and Group 2 winner, Trans Island. This is Canford Cliffs first crop of yearlings and 150,000 guineas may turn out to be a bargain for the Coolmore triumvarent. The 3rd and final purchase of day 1 for the lads was 154, a Galileo filly out of Aleagueoftheirown, for 550,000 guineas. This filly is a full sister to smart colt Kingston Jamaica, maiden Crocodile Rock and useful Cheveley Park filly for the John Gosden team, Criteria. She is also from the family of Group 1 winners Golden Opinion and Samitar.
Day 2:
Day 2 of Tattersalls was a very quiet one from the lads at Coolmore, making just the one purchase for 750,000 guineas. The colt is a Galileo colt and the final foal out of Flirtation, whose daughter Attraction, carried the Duke Of Roxburghe's colours to victory in the 1000 Guineas, the Irish equivalent, the Coronation, Sun Chariot and Matron Stakes in a stellar 3yo campaign. Attraction has had progeny in action this season in the shape of Group 3 Sapphire Stakes winner, Fountain Of Youth who beat Extortionist in this race with the latter heading off to run smart races in Group 2 and Group 1 company.
Day 3:
Day 3 and the final day of Tattersalls Book 1 has been the most productive of the 3 by far for Coolmore with 6 lots purchased. M V Magnier got the ball rolling early with Lot 326, a Montjeu colt out of Honorlina who ran twice, winning once over 1m in France and is a sister to Vahorimix, top class miler Volisix and a few others. M V Magnier was quoted not lot after the 625,000 guineas purchase saying "They're not making Montjeus any more," and "obviously he was a brilliant stallion who was very good to us with the likes of Camelot and Pour Moi. If he's half as good as those we'll be very happy." Magnier then followed up swiftly with the 2nd purchase of the day, lot 327, a Galileo colt out of Hveger for 750,000 and is a full brother to Vintage Stakes winner Highland Reel. The Granddam of this colt is Group 1 winner Circles Of Gold and is the dam of Group 1 winners Haradasun and Elvostoem so this yearling will be expected to hit big heights like his full brother and MV Magnier told the media about how Joseph O'Brien was saying what a machine Highland Reel is. The 3rd purchase of the day was quite a wait, but it did come at lot 343, a Galileo filly out of disqualified 1000 Guineas 'winner' Jacqueline Quest and is the first foal from that particular dam. 625,000 gns is probably a fair price considering the proven qualities of Galileo but there is of course a risk on the dam's side, but 625,000 is not a lot compared to Coolmore's recent purchases and wouldn't have bought if they didn't think she wouldn't turn out to be a success. There was another wait for Coolmore after the purchase for the Galileo filly, as they swooped at lot 391, a colt and first crop yearling by 2011 Epsom Derby hero, Pour Moi for 210,000. Dam, Marjalina was a useful filly for Kevin Prendergast back in her racing days, as she was a Group 3 winner over 1m. Magnier's business was far from finished too, as he was on hand swiftly after the purchase of lot 391, swooping for a Galileo colt out of Mauralakana, who was a Grade 1 winner of the Beverly D Stakes in USA over 1m2f and is a full brother to Ballydoyle 2yo, Hail The Hero. I was always suspicious that Coolmore were saving their pennies for a big splash at the back end of the sales, and so it proved when they won the bid for a Galileo colt out of Penang Pearl who is the sire of the mighty 10l King George winner Harbinger which makes a nice pedigree. This yearling at one point was sat at just 5,000 guineas but swiftly went up to 2,600,000 and Magnier made the following quotes about the sales topper and they were only very interesting and exciting ones. "He's a very good-moving, attractive horse, and he's a half-brother to an exceptional horse. He deserved to make that kind of price - it was certainly a surprise when he started at 5,000gns!" Thank you very much for reading my Coolmore review of Tattersalls Book One, I hope you enjoyed the read. It's much appreciated you all taking the time out to do so. The pictures of these yearlings can be found Below

ARQANA SALE ROUND UP - COOLMORE PURCHASE A SON OF FASTNET ROCK WHO ENDED THE DAY 3 SALES TOPPER AT €210,000 & COOLMORE iNVESTED OVER €3 MILLION IN 7 NEW BUYS AT ARQANA
A SON of Fastnet Rock is heading to Ireland after topping day three of this year's Arqana August Yearling Sale on Monday when selling to Robert Nataf, who was acting on behalf of the Coolmore partners, for €210,000.
The athletic bay is out of Alain de Royer-Dupre's Listed-winning stayer Fine And Mellow, a daughter of Lando who is responsible for seven winners, including Autumn Stakes winner Abjer and Henry II Stakes scorer Gloomy Sunday.
"He has been purchased for Coolmore Stud, who are following their stallions," said Nataf. "He's from the best consignor in France at the moment and from a good family.
"He is an extremely nice Fastnet Rock and he had all the right credentials. He's going back to Ireland and will probably be trained there."
Monday's top lot, who was consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux, will be joining the six purchases made by MV Magnier on the trip back to Ireland. Magnier signed for six lots totalling €2,775,000 on Saturday and Sunday, the sextet topped by an €850,000 Invincible Spirit filly and a €850,000 Dansili colt.
7) Fastnet Rock x Fine And Mellow
- Fastnet Rock a proven sire of Group winners over a range of distances and a MG1W himself as a sprinter down under. Dam Fine And Mellow was a Listed winner over 2m and 2nd dam Lando was a 2 time Group 1 winner over 12f including the Japan Cup. This colt is likely to be best over middle distance and will no doubt win Group races if taking after his sire, dam and 2nd dam. Bought by Horse France on behalf of Coolmore for €210,000 on 18/08/2014.
6) Dansili x Mambo Light
- Sire a G2 winning miler but has produced some fantastic progeny like The Fugue and Rail Link. Dam is twice Listed winner and half sister to Gr.3 winner Dietrich (dam of Gr.3 winner Beauty Bright), from family of many Group 1 winners such as Chimes Of Freedom, Aldebaran, Good Journey, Spinning World, Pathfork and Saddex.. Sold to Coolmore for €850,000 on 17/08/2014.
5) Pour Moi x Gipson Desert
- This colt is one of the first batch from 2011 Derby winner Pour Moi out of Gipson Desert who was a Listed winner over 1m. Could be very versatile from 1m-1m4f. Sold to Coolmore for €170,000 on 17/08/2014.
4) Canford Cliffs x Elusive Galaxy
- Sire a MG1W over 1m including Irish 2000 Guineas and Queen Anne Stakes. Dam once finished 3rd in Group 2 Debutante over 7f. Looks a promising miler for the future. Sold to Coolmore for €125,000 on 16/08/2014.
3) Galileo x Delicieuse Lady
- This colt is a half brother to Prix Du Jockey Club winner Blue Canari and from the family of Mtoto which is a very successful family. Looks like being best at trips of 10-12f in time. Very exciting prospect. Sold to Coolmore for €300,000 on 16/08/2014.
2) Oasis Dream x Soneva
- Colt by MG1W sprinter Oasis Dream out of Soneva who was a MG3W over 1m and finished a close 5th in the Group 1 French 1000 Guineas in 2008. Oasis Dream progeny tend to get 1m so we could possibly be in for another star over the distance. Sold to Coolmore for €480,000 on 16/08/2014.
