Another six-figure Yeats

Yeats’ progeny continue to be hot properties in the auction ring and that continued at Wednesday’s opening session of the Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale when he was responsible for a 125,000 euros three-year-old.

Kevin Ross snapped up the gelding, the first foal of the Supreme Leader mare Ella Watson, on behalf of leading owners Paul and Calire Rooney.

"He's just a real athlete and he's by a good and up-and-coming sire," said Ross.
