Yellow Jersey Family on Fire at Arqana Deauville Day 2

Tara Madgwick - Monday Aug 17

The Tony and Calvin McEvoy trained Yellow Jersey (IRE) has become a real watch  horse for this spring and as anyone that follows Breednet knows he is a blueblood and we saw that highlighted in the second session at the Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale overnight where three yearlings from his immediate family all sold for €1million or more.
