Marcelo Sarachi
Argentine stakes winner Sentimiento Cat, a highly regarded three-year-old colt, has been purchased by Emmanuel de Seroux of California-based Narvick International on behalf of prominent Saudi Arabian owner Prince Sultan bin Mohammed bin Saud al Kabeer.
The son of Argentine leading freshman sire Easing Along was an impressive winner of the Clasico Julio Penna on debut before finishing second to Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum’s new purchase Mach Glory in the Gran Premio Carreras de las Estrellas Juvenile (Arg-G1) on turf at San Isidro on June 30.
Sentimiento Cat will be aimed at major races for three-year-olds in Dubai, including the 2008 UAE Derby on March 29 at Nad al Sheba racecourse.
Meanwhile, Magic Sale, a full sister to the Prince’s 2006 UAE 2,000 Guineas winner Gold for Sale, remained undefeated with a victory in Hipodromo La Plata’s Gran Premio Seleccion de Potrancas, that track’s equivalent of the Oaks, on Sunday in Buenos Aires.
