Half-Brother To Collected Another Uncle Mo Colt To Shine at KEESEP

Into Mischief was the undisputed star of the show on the first day of selling at Keeneland September, but Coolmore's Uncle Mo proved an able understudy, as his son of Helena Bay (GB) (Johannesburg) was knocked down to Donato Lanni, agent for Amr Zedan, for an even $2 million to become the day's top seller of his sex. Hip 154, a half-brother to 2014 KEESEP purchase and hot young sire Collected (City Zip), was bred by Runnymede Farm, Peter J. Callahan and Three Chimneys Farm. The Feb. 12 foal was consigned by Runnymede Farm. Zedan campaigns Uncle Mo's 3-year-old son 'TDN Rising Star' Arabian Knight, recent wire-to-wire winner of the GI Pacific Classic.

The first foal out of 'TDN Rising Star' Guarana (Ghostzapper)–a colt by the ever-present Into Mischief–had interest from all corners of the Keeneland sales pavilion and was ultimately hammered down to Ron Winchell's Winchell Thoroughbreds for $1.4 million. Winner of the one-mile GI Acorn S. and GI CCA Oaks going nine panels at three, Guarana picked up where she left off at four, winning the GI Madison S. over seven-eighths of a mile. Hill 'n' Dale consigned and ultimately purchased Guarana for $4.4 million with the Into Mischief colt in utero at Fasig-Tipton November in 2021. Hill 'n' Dale also consigned hip 145, who was bred in partnership with Matt Dorman.
