HIGH DEMAND FOR DANSILI AT DEAUVILLE

Taken from the TDN

DANSILI (GB) sired the top-priced filly during Friday’s opening session of Arqana's Deauville Yearling Sale, and he followed suit once again with yesterday’s session-topping filly. Juddmonte's youngblood received another rubber stamping on the track in the afternoon when the homebred Proviso (GB) captured the G3 Prix du Calvados, and the momentum shows no sign of halting after bloodstock agent Peter Doyle capped a busy evening when paying E600,000 for hip 213. Consigned by Marc de Chambure's Haras d'Etreham, who enjoyed a highly successful second day, the bay is a daughter of the smart Begueule (Fr) (Bering {GB}).

The listed-placed mare has already produced the useful Pivotal Answer (Ire), currently in training with Jeremy Noseda. ‘She is a lovely filly, really lovely,’ said Doyle, who signed the ticket on behalf of Plantation Stud. ‘I know the Dansilis are hot at this time and I was prepared to pay more, but I also have to admit that we were getting close to our limit. It is not decided yet who will train her, but we look forward to her racing career.’
