A Palace Pier colt, out of the South African raced champion Majmu, proved the star attraction on the first day of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale.
Palace Pier Colt Sells for 450,000 Guineas to Blandford Bloodstock

Richard Brown struck to secure the two-year-old from the renowned breeze up operation, Tally-Ho Stud. The colt was the result of a fine pinhook, having been purchased at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for 100,000 guineas by Hamish Macauley Bloodstock.

“He is a fine, strong horse and has a very impressive physical”, reported Brown. “I am a big fan of the stallion, and I think he has made a very good start”. The purchase prompted a memory for Brown as he shared: “I loved this horse as a yearling and vetted him but did not have anyone for him. I don’t have the best memory, but I remembered him!”

Champion Majmu, a daughter of Redoute’s Choice, has produced three winners thus far, including the stakes placed pair of Mujtaba (by Dubawi) and Fakhama (by Kingman).
