Sayif filly sells for €80,000 to Michael Bell at Goffs

A first-crop daughter of Sayif sold for €80,000 to Michael Bell during the second day of the Goffs Orby Sale.

The striking filly was sold by breeders Reddy and Linda Coffey of Oak Lodge and Springfield House Studs. She is a half-sister to  the high-class Queen Of The Sand, whose eight wins include this year’s Grade 3 Santa Barbara Handicap at Santa Anita. Queen Of The Sand also ran second in the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes.

Their dam, the Woodman mare Lough Mewin, has also bred the Listed-placed Rydan from just three foals of racing age.
