The only living foal of blue-blood Fastnet Rock mare Alter Call, who sadly died last year, gave Newgate Farm another big result in the sale ring when selling for $1.15million on Thursday.

Yet another stunning filly by Zoustar, she was bought by McEvoy Mitchell Racing/Belmont Bloodstock and will join the stable of Tony and Calvin McEvoy to hopefully follow in the footsteps of their former stable star Sunlight, who is also by Zoustar.

“The client who had a red-hot crack at the full sister to Sunlight has decided he wanted to invest in some really good fillies, so after we got knocked out of the ball park yesterday we regrouped  and this was our next best filly. We thought she was a star,” said Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock.

“She just had great attitude, great muscle. I’m describing her as a weapon. She had a huge hindquarter, great forearm and girth and the way she handled herself out the back parade ring and every inspection – just head down and marching along  – is a really good attribute.”

The top priced filly of Magic Millions in 2015, Alter Call was bought from the Newgate draft for $1,050,000 by China Horse Club and had two wins and a stakes placing from just five starts before retiring to stud.

As a half-sister to Golden Slipper winner Estijaab and Group II placed Remarque from dual Group I winner Response, much was expected of Alter Call at stud, but sadly it will now all come down to this lovely Zoustar filly to continue her legacy.

After three sessions, Newgate Farm is the leading vendor by aggregate selling 31 horses for $11,625,000.
