![]() Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Monday Hips to Watch
by Glenye Cain Oakford Fasig-Tipton's Saratoga select yearling sale opens Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. ET in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. , with more yearlings on offer this year, including—as usual for this famed auction—a good number of flashy pedigrees and a few high-priced pinhooks, as well as some by the first or last crops of their sires. Following is a selection of yearlings who have generated attention on the sale grounds or who are sporting notable catalog pages or interesting backgrounds for the opening session, which will offer Hips 1-104. Hip 4 OUT - Last year, Merriebelle Stable (Bluegrass Thoroughbred Services, agent) sold one of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga auction's three millionaire yearlings, a $1 million Tapit daughter out of Rote now named Royal Obsession and owned by Regis Farms. This year, the Merriebelle consignment includes this colt from the first crop of Gemologist . He's a half brother to grade I-placed Society Hostess, and the page got a boost when family member Winning Cause won the gr. III Red Bank Stakes to raise his earnings to more than $642,000. Hip 5 $460k - This filly, from the first crop of 2012 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Union Rags , is a half sister to champion juvenile filly She Be Wild and from a family that has had recent Saratoga sale success: She Be Wild's 2013 Tapit daughter, now named Propositioned, sold here last year for $1,150,000. Like her pricey half sibling a year ago, Hip 5 is in the Bluewater Sales consignment. Hip 23 $200k - The sole lot by European champion Teofilo is an Irish-bred half sister to two stakes-placed runners in England and Ireland.

Hip 34 $1.2MM - One of six colts by Tapit, this is the son of Appealing Zophie, winner of the grade I Spinaway at Saratoga Race Course. He's a half brother to a pair of winners so far by Bernardini and Speightstown , and he hails from the Denali Stud consignment. Hip 38 $500k - Another son of a Spinaway Stakes (gr. I) winner, the Distorted Humor mare Awesome Humor, this colt is from the initial crop of Bodemeister .

Gerry Dilger's Dromoland Farm, agent, consigns. Hip 41 $220k - One of three colts in the catalog from the late stallion Unbridled's Song, this Cara Bloodstock consignee is a half brother to grade III winner Unspurned.

I) runner-up Eight Belles. Hip 49 $750k - Another by Tapit, this time consigned by Hunter Valley Farm. This colt is out of the Storm Cat matron Carriage Trade, a half sister to two-time grade I-placed Lil's Lad and a full sister to group III winner Cherokee . The colt is the mare's second foal; the first, Lone Trader (More Than Ready ), is a winner. Hip 59 RNA ($195k) - The Hurstland Farm agency's Broken Vow filly is a full sister to grade I winner Rosalind. She's out of the Theatrical (Ire) mare Critics Acclaim, who also is the dam of stakes-placed American Diva, by Quiet American, and stakes-producer High Draw (Quiet American), dam of Spooled. Hip 70 $2.0MM - This Irish-bred Tapit colt is out of Dress Rehearsal (Ire), a graded-winning Galileo mare, and is a full brother to English stakes winner Christophermarlowe.

She also got a favorable catalog update when her half sister by Medaglia d'Oro improved her 3-year-old record recently with a win. This is also the family of graded winners Heart Ashley and Ashley's Kitty.

![]() Joe Nevills from DRF had this quick Periscope with the buyer of the $1.4 million Street Cry-Rcuandry. And the winner is...
https://www.periscope.tv/w/aJqUIzM1M...Fw15AblYjSLg== John Ferguson. Colt is apparently Europe bound. Racing/sales people on Twitter seem surprised the Princess Arabella filly was $750,000 and not $1 million+. Nevills' scouting report said if anybody could hit $2 mil it might be this one. http://live.drf.com/nuggets/19494 Apparently folks were buzzing about her a ton pre-sale so not sure what was up with that. The Harlan's Holiday filly before her was massive. Couldn't be so simple as that making her look smaller than she was, surely. Melissa Bauer-Herzog says she was sold, not RNA'd. PS. I'm not seeing the outs on the F-T site. I'm probably just being blind, but I can't find it easily. Kinda bummed to realize the $950K weanling Tapit pinhook, Hip #156 was an out. Saving her for Keeneland September? ETA: Boyd Browning's emotional reflection on the sales, again via Nevills. https://www.periscope.tv/w/aJqr2zM1M...60g4o0cYUqmg== Last edited by Merlinsky : 08-11-2015 at 11:14 PM. |
