Starspangledbanner Colt Tops Final Day Of Tattersalls Book 2

A son of Starspangledbanner topped the final day of the Tattersalls Book 2 Sale when selling to Anthony Stroud for 360,000gns.

Offered by Ballyhimikin Stud, the half-brother to Stakes performer Kodiak West (Lot 1323) drew the attentions of many, though the final bids were left to Kia Joorabchian and Stroud, with the latter prevailing on behalf of Godolphin.

Starspangledbanner has done very well and he comes from a very good farm.”
