A Barathea filly fetched the top price of 250,000 euros ($352,264) on Sept. 21, the first day of SGA Select Yearling Sale in Milan, Italy.
 
The yearling, My Name Is Nobody, is out of the Shirley Heights mare Shesadelight and was purchased by Scuderia Rencati. She is a sister of British group III winner Shield.
 
Italian considerations were the reason a Lomitas colt fetched 240,000 euros ($338,173), being a half-brother to 2005 Italian Derby winner De Sica.
 
A 200,000 euros ($281,772) Montjeu filly out of the High Top mare Heaven Early Knows dominated early proceedings. The filly was consigned by breeder Razza del Sole and bought by Allevamento La Nuova Sbarra.  Pieces of Dreams, a Dalakhani colt, was purchased by agent Bobby O'Ryan for the same price.
 
John O'Byrne struck on behalf of Coolmore when paying 170,000 euros ($239,499) for a Galileo colt out of the Stravinsky mare Looking Back.
