The colt (lot 374) is the seventh foal of the Group 1 winning Charge Forward mare Response and is the mare’s third million-dollar yearling.

Estijaab came from the same sale in 2017 for $1.7million.

"All the team thought he was a nice physical," Tom Magnier said.

"We will need a bit of luck, but it is a real stallion's pedigree if he does it on the racetrack. This is the kind of horse we want to get this week.  

“We will take him back to Coolmore and put him straight in the gym.

“The we will get him ready to go to Chris (Waller).

“We are delighted to get him and we have a great team in the syndicate.

“The Messaras at Arrowfield do a great job of producing horses at this sale and to get a horse from their draft is great.”
