Bought for €150,000, a share in Persian King (lot 13) was bought by Haras du Chateau. A group winner in England at 2 before taking the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (G1) at 3, he also took the Prix d'Ispahan (G1) and Prix Moulin de Longchamp (G1) before ending his career with a third in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (G1).
