When outstanding Home Affairs colt Guest House won the Group I ATC Golden Slipper Stakes, he put the spotlight on his dam Flamboyant Lass, who was offered in the Newgate Consignment at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale and sold for $800,000 in foal to Storm Boy.
Not surprisingly the successful bidder was Tom Magnierof Coolmore, who stands Guest House’s sire Home Affairs and secured his Golden Slipper winning son to stand at Coolmore in the future.
“I’ll be looking forward to seeing the Storm Boy out of her. She's a lovely mare obviously, and we're delighted with Guest House,” said Tom Magnier.
“We've got a couple of stallions at home now that we can have a think about and the favourite would be Home Affairs.
“There's a couple of other stallions at home that the lads are trying to put forward to me, but I think she'll be married to Home Affairs for the foreseeable future.”
Turning 14 this year, Flamboyant Lass is a stakes-placed daughter of Golden Slipper winning sire Stratum and has the perfect record at stud of six foals to race all winners.
Flamboyant Lass changed hands last year when selling for $47,500 on Inglis Digital to Clarke Bloodstock before Guest House raised his hand, so has been a phenomenally good investment with the cover to Coolmore’s young Justify (USA) stallion Storm Boy secured for $16,500.
