SHEIKH Mohammed attended the first day of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 on Tuesday and bought 11 horses for a total of 6.6 million guineas (£6.93 million).

The Sheikh's Godolphin operation bought the four top-priced horses on the day, all colts, which included the only two yearlings to fetch seven-figure sums. Two of the four are by the Sheikh's own stallions - Ghaiyyath and Dubawi. The other two are by Frankel and Kingman.
