It was lot number 12, Flamenco's Serenade which came out on top reaching an impressive £32,000. The chestnut colt is by Je T'aime Flamenco out of Tinka's Serenade (Tinkas Boy). Both parents had multiple Grand Prix wins around the globe with Tinka's Serenade competing at Olympic and World Championship level.

We are pleased to have secured top lot again with our homebred colt and hope he can go on to emulate his parent's success. We will watch his career with interest!”
