The European record for a yearling was shattered on the opening day of Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale when the GALILEO brother to Oaks runner-up SECRET GESTURE was sold to John Magnier for 3,600,000 guineas. The sale represents a record for a yearling in Europe, eclipsing the 3,400,000 guineas paid for the subsequent Group 1 winner RIVER DANCER at the Tattersalls Houghton Yearling Sale in 2000. The sale also represents the highest price for a yearling in the World in 2013, with 3.6m guineas equivalent to $6,000,000 and €4,500,000.
