Media Release - Sunday August 20
Windsor Park shuttle stallion, Charm Spirit, has enjoyed success on the second day of the Arqana Yearling Sale at Deauville with a colt by the three-time European Group One winner selling for 500,000 euros.

Charm Spirit colt from KarticaOut of stakes placed Rainbow Quest mare, Kartica, the colt was knocked down to the bid of Shadwell Farm France who purchased the youngster from the Haras du Cadran Stud draft.
