Just three lots into the start of trade on the third day of the Goffs November Foal Sale, a full-sister to G1 Criterium International winner and recent G1 Melbourne Cup runner-up Johannes Vermeer (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Group 2 winner Elizabeth Browning (Ire) (lot 541) brought the hammer down at €1.1 million.

Hugo Lascelles signed the ticket on behalf of unnamed American interests and said that the filly is likely to be trained eventually in England.

Consigned by the Castlebridge Consignment on behalf of breeder Desert Star Phoenix Jvc, the January-born filly is the fourth foal of the juvenile winner Inca Princess (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) who has been mated exclusively with Galileo and is herself the daughter of G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Miletrian (Ire) (Marju {Ire}).

The 9-year-old Inca Princess will be offered during tomorrow’s breeding stock sale as lot 970 and is in foal to Galileo on a Feb. 13 cover.
