Forte’s Dam Fetches $3M from John Stewart

Only moments after going to $3 million for GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Pizza Bianca (Fastnet Rock) at Tuesday's Fasig-Tipton November sale, John Stewart was back in action, picking up Queen Caroline (Blame–Queens Plaza, by Forestry) for another $3 million. The 10-year-old Queen Caroline is the dam of champion, GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner, 'TDN Rising Star', and recent Spendthrift retiree Forte (Violence). After not producing a live foal the past two years, Queen Caroline was bred to Horse of the Year Flightline Feb. 24 and is believed to be in foal.

From the same family as Breeders' Cup winner Folklore (Tiznow) and Japanese champion Contrail (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), Queen Caroline was consigned by Bluegrass Thoroughbreds Services, agent for South Gate Farm LLC as hip 171. South Gate's Amy Moore had purchased her as a yearling at the 2014 Keeneland September sale for $170,000 and campaigned her to multiple listed black-type victories.
