‘TDN Rising Star’ Hidden Scroll (Hard Spun) (Hip 3295) topped Tuesday’s session of the Keeneland November Sale, which was highlighted by the horses of racing age section, when selling for $525,000 to Fergus Galvin, who was acting on behalf of Marc Detampel. The 4-year-old colt was consigned by WinStar Racing as agent for owner/breeder Juddmonte Farms.
” He is going to go to Brad Cox,” Galvin said. “His pre-race antics are well-documented. We are just hoping a change of scenery might benefit the horse. We know he has a world of talent. It is just a matter of getting it out of him.”
He continued, “He has run some huge numbers. On his best day, he is Grade I caliber. He has shown that talent in the past. He is also a beautiful physical. If we can unearth the talent out of him, we are definitely excited to see what the future holds for him.”
Trained by Bill Mott, Hidden Scroll romped by 14 lengths in the slop on debut at Gulfstream in January of last year. Off the board in both the GII Fountain of Youth S. and GI Florida Derby last term, the bay was third in a Churchill allowance that May and was subsequently shelved for the season.
Kicking off this season with an optional claimer score at Gulfstream Mar. 1, Hidden Scroll was off the board in the GIII Count Fleet Sprint H. in April and dropped his rider after stumbling at the start next out in a Belmont optional claimer in June. Eighth when trying turf in the GI Jaipur S. 17 days later. He was fifth when last seen in a Saratoga turf test Aug. 1.
The second highest-priced offering of the day was Miss J McKay (Hangover Kid) (Hip 3085), who summoned $300,000 from Jackson Farms. Consigned by Elite, the 3-year-old by Maxis Stable, Madaket Stables and Wonder Stables with trainer Cathal Lynch. The MD-bred has been in the money in eight of her nine starts and captured the Anne Arundel County S. last term.
A total of 216 horses summoned $5,697,700 with an average of $26,3378 and a median of $10,000. There were a total of 25 RNAs. Throughout the nine days of selling so far, 2,060 horses changed hands for a gross of $156,257,200 with an av erage of $75,853 and a median of $30,000. Overall, 416 Thoroughbreds failed to meet their reserves.
“There were a few soft spots, but the horses that vetted clean and were good race prospects were making money,” said Galvin.
