Mark Smith - Monday July 10

The first foal of Group I ATC Champagne Stakes winner Seabrook, a colt by former Arrowfield Stud shuttler Real Steel (JPN), was purchased by Kazutaka Hosaka for 40,000,000 yen (A420,000) at Monday’s yearling session of the JHRA Select Sale.

An $85,000 Inglis Premier Yearling purchase for Blueblood Thoroughbreds,  Seabrook banked $853,840 before being sold to Japan in a private transaction.

Besides her Group 1 ATC Champagne Stakes triumph, Seabrook captured the Group II Sweet Embrace Stakes.
