"I thought he was the best of the day, though the page is slightly light for what he cost," reported Crawford. "I have been waiting on him all day and I had to go a bit further than I wanted to, but it is hard to buy a bit of quality without spending a bit of money. If he gets a result he will be cheap, if he doesn't he will be expensive!"

He added: "This horse is very correct and Evan Williams trains his full-brother – I spoke to Evan a few minutes ago and he loves his horse. He highly recommended the full-brother, which gave me the encouragement to push on. The right boys were bidding against me, if the right people like him at this end, hopefully the right people will like him at the next stage."

Of plans he outlined: "Hopefully, I will have a big decision to make – hopefully he will show me enough that I will have to make a decision between pointing or going down the bumper route. He will be trained to sell."

And of his store horse buying season, he said: "I have been fairly quiet, I thought trade was too strong at the other sales, you have to have a cut off point. That allowed me to be a wee bit stronger today, it is all swings and roundabouts and I have done a bit of business today.

"And I might do a bit tomorrow – I know tomorrow is set up as a Part 2, but I have seen a number of horses I like." (19:37)

Of this horse, O'Connor added: "He is very athletic and he is out of a good mare, he could be a nice horse."

Sire Lucky Lion is a son of High Chaparral and won the 1m2f Group 1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis-Bayerisches Zuchtrennen. The Frankel connection also plays again here – second to Lucky Lion at Mulheim was the Flat champion sire's full-brother Noble Mission.

"Ten Sovereigns is doing great with his first crop, this filly is a very good walker and very athletic," he said, standing on the balcony alongside Harry Dunlop. "She has been bought for Andrew Megson, who is perhaps known more for his jumping string. Harry is helping the Megsons, and this filly is going to his brother Ed Dunlop, who has a few for the couple to run on the Flat for some fun."

Striking so early on in the sale to fulfil this order, he said: "It is early in the sale and Andrew was only wanting to buy one, it is funny how it happened."

Bromley added of the filly's family: "Joseph [O'Brien] had the two-year-old last year [Lakota Seven, winner and Listed and Group 3 placed] who was a good two-year-old over a mile and sold well at the end of the year.

"The pedigree goes back to a good Juddmonte bloodline in Monroe, the dam of Xaar. There are few Group 1 performers down at the bottom of the page. It is really exciting, and this filly looks as though she has size and scope to make up into a three-year-old, too."

Of the September Yearling Sale, he added: "It has been a lucky sale for me, I like this sale. I will say that this will be a good strong domestic trade today, it will be a solid trade."

The team's agent Michael Donohoe was in charge of bidding and went to €82,000 for the daughter of the winning Dalakhani mare Aspasi, and he said: "We are big fans of the sire. She is a lovely filly and a gorgeous physical.

"She has been really well produced by Norelands, the farm produces good horses, and we think she is good value. She has been bought for a Middle Eastern-based client, who has been a lucky client of mine. She will stay in Ireland to be broken and will go on to be trained in Ireland, England or France. "

He added: "It is great to be at the September Sale and see horses by such top level sires, she stood out a bit, but we are happy with what we have paid for her."

Of the sale, he said: "It is very busy here, there are lots of buyers here and Tattersalls and ITM have worked hard to get buyers here across all levels, there should be a good clearance rate today."

"He is coming into training with me, we will get him broken in and we will see where we are at, but he is a fine horse and has a great page as a full-brother to Dandalla; the mare has had three winners from three runners," said the successful buyer, announced as purchaser from the rostrum by auctioneer John O'Kelly referencing to Mark's son Billy who has been making such big waves as a jockey and who rode out his apprentice claim last week when recording his 95th winner and just 11 months on from his race riding debut.
