A filly by Practical Joke (hip 75) brought the top price of C$180,000 and was one of five yearlings to sell for six figures during the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society's Premier Yearling Sale Wednesday at Woodbine. Consigned by Shannondoe Farm, the bay filly is out of multiple stakes winner Silent Treat (Silent Name {Jpn}) and was bred in Ontario by Stablemates. She was purchased by J. Nelson.
The top-priced colt at the sale was a son of Silent Name (Jpn) out of stakes-placed Sweet Bama Breeze (City Zip) (hip 94). The bay is a half-brother to stakes winner Will She (Wando). He was consigned by Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency and was purchased for $160,000 by Stuart Simon, as agent for William and Anne Scott.
A total of 158 yearlings sold Wednesday for a gross of $3,144,400. The average was $19,901 and the median was $10,000. At last year's auction, 142 horses sold for $2,795,300 for an average of $19,685 and a median of $14,500.
