Catalogued as lot 159, the bay filly by GALILEO out of the MARK OF ESTEEM mare LADY KARR had received a significant catalogue update following the second by her two-year-old brother and Derby prospect MIKHAIL GLINKA who finished second in the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud earlier this month. The filly, whose dam is a brother to the 2006 Derby winner SIR PERCY, was knocked down to the Duke Of Bedford for 275,000 guineas after he saw off Blandford Bloodstock’s Tom Goff and London Thoroughbred Services’ James Wigan. The filly, who was consigned from Bill and Tara Dwan’s The Castlebridge Consignment is set to go into training with John Hammond at Chantilly in France.
