The Dark Angel half-sister to Classic winner Just The Judge was the star filly of the day on Wednesday at Goffs November Foal Sale, drawing several big owner-breeders into a bidding battle. But eventually ended up in the ownership of Sheikh Hamdan, a confirmed fan of her sire, with Derrinstown Stud’s Stephen Collins lasting longest in the pursuit securing the winning bid of €575,000. “We’re delighted to get her,” he said. “Sheikh Hamdan was very keen on her pedigree. She’s a very well-bred filly and he has had a lot of luck with Dark Angel. She has plenty of residual value as a broodmare.”
In an excellent couple of minuites for Dark Angel, Ross Moorhead’s Glacken View offered a very smart filly by the sire who was secured for a winning bid of €260,000 from BBA Ireland. She is a daughter of Listed Pretty Polly Stakes Heroine Fashionable.
