Lot 212 sold for $1.1million

It has often been lamented that Sunlight was not a colt and today we saw just what sort of worth would be placed on a male version of the superstar filly.

An exceptional individual, he was bought by Hawkes Racing, who have been very active at the sale securing four cracking colts with this fellow the standout.

Bred by Widden Stud in partnership, he is the seventh foal of Group III winner Solar Charged, who has done a great job producing not only $6.5million earner Sunlight, but also Group III winner Sisstar and stakes-placed Sheikha.

Solar Charged has no weanling, but is now back in foal to Zoustar.
