Blueblood Night of Thunder filly Marylebone topped the 2025 Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale when selling to Amo Racing for€3million and the two year-old filly made a winning debut overnight in the UK.
Set an easy task in a mile maiden at Yarmouth, the Kevin Philippart de Foy trained Marylebone was strong through the line David Egan to win by three-quarters of a length over Wootton Bassett filly Avebury Ring, who runs in the royal colours of The King and Queen.

“We've taken our time with Marylebone, like a few of the other well-bred horses but they're all coming good at the moment. She was ready to run but I was a bit worried about the ground with the rain over the last 48 hours,” said Kevin Philippart De Foy.
“She's done everything right and hit the line very well. The trip is a bare minimum but she's a lovely filly to look forward to. The leader had a very easy time in front and experience, and our filly hasn't been taken off the bridle at home. She's got a great brain and we're relieved because it's a great family. There was a bit of pressure on our shoulders today and I'm glad she delivered.”
Marylebone is the tenth winner from 11 foals to race from stakes-winning Dansili mare Prudenzia, whose offspring include four time G1 winner Diamond Necklace (third in this year’s Arc), Group I winners Magic Wand and Chiquita as well as Group III winner Philomene.
A Siyouni colt from Prudenzia was offered at Arqana Deauville August this year and made €1million when secured by Japanese trainer Yoshito Yahagi.
