Legend Racing Purchase $400,000 Wootton Bassett Colt

With his star colt Wodeton (2c Wootton Bassettx Fiera Vista, by Exceed and Excel) expected to race this Saturday in the Group II ATC Todman Stakes, Wootton Bassett is a stallion making news and his second crop of Australian yearlings made their mark at the Inglis Premier Sale this week with his best result a colt from Sancta selling for $400,000 to Legend Racing.

Consigned by Newhaven Park, the colt is the first foal of Sancta, a winning half-sister by So You Think to Group III winner Englis Riviera from stakes-winner Second Time Lucky.

Two Bays Farm produced the best pinhook result of the sale with their Wootton Bassett filly from Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Oohood.

The third foal of her dam, she made $70,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale last year when snapped up by Astute Bloodstock from the Stonehouse Thoroughbreds draft and when re-offered made $380,000 to the bid of Shane Nichols Racing.

The filly comes with a superb pedigree as her dam is a Group I winning half-sister by I Am Invincible to stakes-placed Breakfast in Bed, the dam of dual Group I winner and promising young sire King’s Legacy. This is the family of champion sire Not a Single Doubt with third dam Singles Bar, a daughter of blue hen Easy Date.

Wootton Bassett has 17 entries for Inglis Easter next month.
