Bowness Stud’s dashing grey Group I winning So You Think stallion D’Argento has his first yearlings being offered at Magic Millions and had a great result on Wednesday with a colt from Saggiatore selling for $230,000.
Consigned by Bowness Stud, he was bought by Duncan Ramage of DGR Thoroughbreds.
“He presents in the style of a Bart Cummings classic staying prospect, so am pleased to combine with Bart’s former foreman Matthew Smith to see if we can replicate our mentor’s success,” said Duncan Ramage.
A strong athletic grey like his sire, the colt is a half-brother to three winners and comes from a big Black Type family as his dam is a half-sister by world champion sire Galileo to stakes-winner Follow Gold, the dam of Group I winner and Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Driefontein.
$1.4million earning stakes-winning stayer Black on Gold is also on the page along with stakes-winners Export Gold, Dubawi Gold and Forest Gold.
Saggiatore has another filly to follow also by D’Argento, who was purchased from this sale in 2016 for $135,000 by Star Thoroughbreds and went on to claim Group I success in the ATC Rosehill Guineas winning over $1.1million in prizemoney.
