Curlin Colt Joins Million-Dollar Club at Keeneland

A colt by Curlin out of Grade I winner Carina Mia (Malibu Moon) (hip 169) added to a parade of seven-figure yearlings at Keeneland Monday when selling for $1.7 million. Three Chimneys' Doug Cauthen signed the ticket on the bay, who was consigned by Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency and was bred by Three Chimneys Farm and Hill 'n' Dale Equine Holdings. Three Chimneys and Hill 'n' Dale dissolved their partnership on Carina Mia when the mare sold for $2.6 million at last year's Fasig-Tipton November sale. Three Chimneys secured her 2-year-old filly by Quality Road for $750,000 at this year's Keeneland January sale.

Progeny of American-Sourced Mares Set to Shine at Gold Coast

Buyers will relish the opportunity to get not only into some of Australia's pre-eminent female families, but also into some American bloodlines that have been sourced by a variety of bloodstock professionals at auction houses in this country.

Lot 141, c, Justify–Inglorious, by Hennessy

From Justify's first Southern Hemisphere crop, the chestnut is a half to graded stakes-placed Miss Canada (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) as well as two other winners. The Ontario-bred Inglorious was a $1.35 million purchase from the 2013 Fasig-Tipton November sale by Kia Ora Stud, and her offspring have been well-received among buyers in her adoptive country: her first foal England (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) sold for over US$680,000 as an Inglis Easter yearling in 2017. The full-sibling to that one, Off Width (Aus), hammered for over $400,000 at the same sale a year later, and Miss Canada recently passed through the 2021 Magic Millions Broodmare sale, dropping the hammer for over $580,000 the way of Suman Hedge Bloodstock.

The half-sister sold for over $500,000 in 2017 at the Inglis Easter Yearling sale. The dam is a half to 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Acorn S.-winning Carina Mia (Malibu Moon) and to a Group 1 stakes producer in Argentina. This is the female family of the late Lord Nelson. Miss Match was purchased by Freyer Bloodstock for $500,000 at the 2010 Keeneland November sale and was exported to Australia in 2012.

Lot 335, c, Brave Smash (Jpn)–Olympic Medal, by Medaglia d'Oro

Olympic Medal was consigned as a weanling by Hill n' Dale back in 2016 at the Keeneland November sale, going the way of Julian Blaxland's Blue Sky Bloodstock/Aquis Farm for $525,000 and she was immediately exported to Australia. A half to GSW Heavenly Curlin (Curlin), the young broodmare hails from the family of Champion Australian miler turned champion sire, Redoute's Choice (Aus) (Danehill), former 'TDN Rising Star' and sire Rubick (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) and G1SWs Platinum Scissors (Aus) (Danehill) and Manhattan Rain (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}).
