Record-breaking mare produces a filly by Galileo.
Coolmore has announced that dual Group 1 winner Marsha (Acclamation), who was bought by MV Magnier for a record-breaking 6,000,000gns at the 2017 Tattersalls December Mare Sale, has foaled a filly by their Champion sire Galileo (Sadler's Wells).
"Today's #FoalFriday star is Champion Sprinter Marsha's stunning Galileo filly! Bred & raced by @eliteracingclub Marsha won the G1 @coolmorestud Nunthorpe S & Prix de l'Abbaye before smashing the European sales record @Tattersalls1766," the tweet read.
Bred by Elite Racing and trained by Sir Mark Prescott, Marsha retired from racing having won seven of her 18 career starts with her Group 1 victories coming in the 2016 Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp (Gr 1, 1000m) at three before capturing the Nunthorpe Stakes (Gr 1, 5f) the following year.
By Acclamation (Royal Applause), Marsha is out of the Listed-winning mare Marlinka (Marju) who has also produced the Group 3 winner Judicial (Iffraaj). Her third dam is Kalinka (Soviet Star), the dam of five winners headed by the Elite Racing-raced multiple Group 1 winner Soviet Song (Marju). This is also the family of fellow Group 1 winner Ribbons (Manduro).
