The sale where future Group 1 French Champion Hurdle winner Mandali (Sinndar) was purchased will once again host a strong delegation from the Aga Khan Studs. Ten three-year-olds and a two-year-old filly will pass through the Arqana ring on day 1 of the Autumn Mixed Sale on 14th November. The sale will be held in Deauville for the first time. Among these, six have already won.
Gr 1 Critérium International scorer Carlotamix’s half-brother Caroun (Montjeu) has an update to the catalogue as he has won by 2,5 lengths at Saint-Cloud since publication.

The son of Dr Fong Shamar recently recorded two victories and he belongs to the close family of Shawanda.
Amongst the four lots who have placed, Shamkhal (Tiger Hill) is a half brother to Gr 1 Secretariat Stakes hero and Breeders’ Cup Turf runner-up Shamdinan. The consistent colt has been placed on five occasions and is out of a half-sister to Gr 1 victrix Shamdala. Lot 154 Vidayar (Shamardal) has placed four times in four outings. He is out of Group 3 scorer Visorama (Linamix) who is a half sister to Group 1 winner Varenar.
