The 6 million euro Oaks winner Chicquita, winner of last season's Irish Oaks, was sold to Peter and Ross Doyle Bloodstock for six million euro at the Goffs November Sale in Ireland. The lightly raced three-year-old filly formed part of Australian owner-breeder Paul Makin's wholesale dispersal of his entire stock. Chicquita won the Curragh Classic by half a length from Venus De Milo in July and also finished second to subsequent Arc heroine Treve in the French equivalent a month earlier. Also amongst the Makin consignment was the 2009 July Cup winner Fleeting Spirit, who is in foal to Galileo and fetched €1,100,000. Song, the first mare in foal to Frankel on sale in Europe, went to John Egan for €1,000,000.
