    Secret Thoughts is out of the wayward Montjeu filly Chiquita and low and behold in her first race she shows signs of possible temperament problems. "ridden 1 1/2f out and flashed tail, "

    Her dam was a maiden until she won the irish oaks having finished second to one of my all time fav race mares Treve in the Diane. If memory serves me right she was clear in a maiden at Chantilly before veering left and running into a bush and unseating her rider :D

    Spot on, but that was in saint-cloud rather than Chantilly.
    I think and I'm open to correction but I think she still holds the record for highest price paid for a horse at Irish sales when selling at the goffs horses in training sale after Paul Makin decided to sell all his bloodstock in 2013. 6million after a Savage bidding war between Coolmore and Sheikh Fahad agents.
