The filly from Yummy Mummy is a three-quarter sister to this year's outstanding 3YO filly Legatissimo (by Danehill Dancer), winner of The One Thousand Guineas G1 and two other Group 1 races, and runner-up in The Oaks G1.Yummy Mummy (by Montjeu) is a winning sister to Champion European Stayer Fame And Glory, from the family of dual Group 1 winner Farhh.
The attractive, loose-walking bay filly was consigned as Lot 24 by her breeder Newsells Park Stud and purchased by Coolmore's M.V. Magnier, son of John and Susan, who race Legatissimo with Michael Tabor & Derrick Smith. The underbidder was the China Horse Club.
M.V. Magnier said, "We were lucky enough to buy Legatissimo at this sale two years ago and if this filly is half as good as her, we'll be happy. This family has been very lucky for us - you have Fame And Glory under the second dam - and this is a lovely filly."
Julian Dollar, General Manager of Newsells Park Stud, said, "You've got to be happy with that [the price]. She made her value. She's going to a great home - they know how to train daughters out of that mare! It's bittersweet as we'd have loved to have kept her but selling is our modus operandi and everyone knows that."
