Multiple Grade 1 Winner Bast To Be Offered At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Three-time Grade 1 winner Bast, in foal to Triple Crown winner Justify, will be offered at this year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency will consign the 3-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo on behalf of owner Charles Chu's Baoma Corporation.

Bast is the only three-time Grade 1-winning filly of her crop in the U.S. She is also the only Grade 1 winning juvenile filly of that crop to add a graded stakes victory at three.

Trained throughout her career by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, she established herself as the West Coast's leading 2-year-old filly in 2019. Following a second-place finish in her career debut at two at Del Mar, Bast returned to the races three weeks later to break her maiden in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante by a powerful 8 3/4 lengths.

Stretching out to 1 1/16 miles for her next start in the G1 Chandelier Stakes, she went-to-wire to notch her second career Grade 1 win.

Bast would next run in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita. Despite setting swift fractions over a tiring racetrack, she gamely held on to finish third, just two lengths behind eventual Eclipse champion British Idiom.

Bast would conclude her 2-year-old campaign with a victory in the G1 Starlet Stakes at Los Alamitos, winning in impressive gate-to-wire fashion over an off racetrack.

Bast began her 3-year-old campaign in January, turning back in distance to seven furlongs in the G2 Santa Ynez Stakes. Despite spotting four pounds to her rivals, she delivered another effortless victory, increasing her earnings to $852,200 in what would be her final career start. All four of her career wins were in Grade 1 or graded stakes company.

“Bast's tremendous ability and gorgeous looks should make her an outstanding broodmare,” said Baffert. “I have only seen five yearling fillies at the sales that were a 'must buy' in my life, and she is one them. She is that beautiful.”

Purchased by Baffert and agent Donato Lanni on behalf of Baoma Corporation for $500,000 at Fasig-Tipton's 2018 Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale, Bast is a daughter of champion Uncle Mo. She is offered in foal to Triple Crown winner and Horse of the Year Justify.

Her dam Laffina, by Arch, is a half-sister to graded stakes winner Mananan McLir, and stakes winners Big Sur and Charming N Lovable. Charming N Lovable is in turn the dam of Grade 1-winning female Fault. Laffina is also a half-sister to graded stakes performer Sandra's Rose, the dam of South Bend, a stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed 3-year-old colt this year.

“Bast was a fantastic racemare,” said John G. Sikura of consignor Hill 'n' Dale. “Selected and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, in foal to Triple crown winner Justify, and by leading sire Uncle Mo. She is without fault and has everything a breeder desires – class, performance, and pedigree at the highest levels.”

Added Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning: “Bast is another tremendous racehorse campaigned by Charles and Susan Chu. Her brilliance on the racetrack and impeccable pedigree make her a broodmare with unlimited potential.”

Monomoy Girl, Midnight Bisou, Uni To Be Offered At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Elite Sales will offer three champion fillies and mares at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Nov. 8.

Monomoy Girl, owned by Monomoy Stables, Michael Dubb, The Elkstone Group and Bethlehem Stables, was 2018's champion 3-year-old filly and the 2018 Breeders' Cup Distaff winner. She is three-for-three in 2020 and added her most recent Grade 1 win in Friday's La Troienne at Churchill. The six-time Grade 1 winner is now set to target the Breeders' Cup Distaff. She has crossed the finish line first in 13 of 14 lifetime starts.

The 2019 champion older mare Midnight Bisou is owned by Bloom Racing Stable, Madaket Stables and Allen Racing. A five-time Grade 1 winner, Midnight Bisou was second in this year's $20-million Saudi Cup to Maximum Security. She has earned over $7.4 million while never being off the board in 22 lifetime starts. Her 13 graded stakes victories equal four-time champion Beholder, and are more than Songbird (12), Ashado (11), Royal Delta (10), and Rachel Alexandra (9). She will run next in the G1 Spinster before a scheduled date in the Breeders' Cup.

Uni (GB), last year's Breeders' Cup Mile winner and champion female turf horse, completes the trio for owners Michael Dubb, Head of Plains Partners, Robert LaPenta and Bethlehem Stables. A three-time Grade 1 winner, Uni finished 2019 on a tear, setting a Keeneland course record when posting a dominant win in the G1 First Lady before her Breeders' Cup Mile triumph at Santa Anita Park. She is on target for a repeat in the G1 First Lady.

“This is a-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to offer three champions in the prime of their careers,” said Elite Sales' Bradley Weisbord. “They aren't one-hit wonders; they have been leaders in their divisions since they hit the racetrack. With these unprecedented times we look forward to speaking with all interested parties as these mares will appeal to anyone around the World looking to target the highest end of the thoroughbred industry.”

Multiple Grade 1 Winner Rushing Fall To Be Offered At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Female turf division leader Rushing Fall, a Breeders' Cup champion and multiple Grade 1 winner, will be offered at this year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

The 5-year-old mare will be consigned by Indian Creek, agent, on behalf of the Edwards family's e Five Racing Thoroughbreds.

Trained throughout her career by four-time Eclipse champion trainer Chad Brown, Rushing Fall is a six-time Grade 1 winner of $2,553,000. She is one of just three females in the modern era to win Grade 1 races at two, three, four, and five, alongside Beholder and Lady Eli.

Since winning her career debut at Belmont in September of her 2-year-old year, Rushing Fall has competed exclusively in graded stakes company, amassing 10 career graded stakes wins at five different tracks from coast-to-coast. Her impeccable record counts 11 wins and two seconds from 14 career starts.

At two, Rushing Fall won the Grade 3 Jessamine Stakes by more than three lengths in her second career start. In her next start, she captured the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on her way to being named a finalist for Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly.

At three, she notched wins in the G2 Appalachian Stakes and G2 Lake Placid Stakes, followed by a gate-to-wire win in the prestigious G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

She began her 4-year-old campaign with another scintillating front-running win in the G1 Jenny Wiley Stakes. She followed that win up with a victory in the prestigious G1 Just a Game Stakes in near-course record time.

This year, at five, Rushing Fall is in arguably the best form of her career. She began her 2020 campaign with another brilliant wire-to-wire victory in the G3 Beaugay Stakes, and then successfully defended her title in the G1 Jenny Wiley Stakes, setting a new course record for 1 1/16 miles in 1:39.02. Most recently, she captured Saratoga's prestigious G1 Diana Stakes in near-course record time on Aug. 23.

Rushing Fall is now pointing toward a return to the Breeders' Cup, prior to the Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Sunday, Nov. 8 in Lexington, Ky.

Purchased as a yearling at Fasig-Tipton's Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale by agent Mike Ryan on behalf of the Edwards family, Rushing Fall is by leading international sire More Than Ready. He is the sire of the dams of more than 90 black-type winners worldwide.

Rushing Fall is out of the Forestry mare Autumnal, a 100-percent winner-producer. She is a half-sister to stakes winner and multiple graded stakes placed Milam, as well as stakes placed Autumn Song. Rushing Fall is also a half-sister to Homecoming Dance, the dam of stakes winner Empire Line, as well as Hang a Star, a graded stakes placed performer this year. Her immediate family includes G1 winners Albert the Great and Trumpet's Blare.

“Rushing Fall is one of the more brilliant turf females we have seen in some time, compiling a near perfect record in capturing her division's most prestigious and competitive races,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “She is a true collector's item, and we are honored that the Edwards Family has entrusted her sale to Fasig-Tipton.”

Grade 1 Winner Street Band Retired, To Be Offered In Fasig-Tipton November Sale

The connections of Grade 1 winner Street Band have announced her retirement from racing. She will be cataloged at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

Racing in partnership for Ray Francis, Cindy Jones, J. Larry Jones, Medallion Racing, and MyRacehorse.com, Street Band won five times in her career and she retires with earnings of more than $1.1 million.

“Street Band was a special filly for our barn. She had so much class to go with her Grade 1 talent. It's bittersweet to see her go, but we are proud that she proved herself to be among the best of her generation,” said trainer Larry Jones, who also bred the filly with Cindy Jones and Ray Francis.

A 7 1/4-length maiden winner at age two, Street Band would go on to win three graded stakes races by an average margin of three lengths in her career. Her most impressive win came in the $1-million Grade 1 Cotillion at Parx. In a field that featured four different multiple Grade 1 winners and an Eclipse Award champion, Street Band defeated the best fillies of her generation to win going away by 2 1/4 lengths. In winning the Grade 1 Cotillion, she handed multiple Grade 1 winner Guarana the only defeat in her career to this point.

Street Band won or placed nine times in her career, adding victories earlier in the year in the G2 Fair Grounds Oaks and G3 Indiana Oaks to her Cotillion score, along with a third in the Grade 1 Alabama at Saratoga.

Street Band hails from a family with success across the globe. She is the sixth winner from seven to race produced by Street Minstrel, a daughter of top-class broodmare sire Street Cry and a half-sister to two other stakes horses. Street Band's second dam is Minstrel's Lassie, herself a Grade 1 and French stakes winner, and a half-sister to Mintly, the granddam of two-time Australian Group 1 winner Manighar.

Phillip Shelton, manager of Taylor Made's Medallion Racing said, “Street Band took our Medallion partners on an incredible journey. She was our first Grade 1 winner, beating a star-studded field in the Grade 1 Cotillion. We will always remember her pulling her last-to-first charge to beat Grade 1 winners Guarana, Serengeti Empress, Bellafina, and champion Jaywalk. Thanks to Larry Jones and our partners Ray Francis and his family, Larry and Cindy Jones, and MyRacehorse.com.”

Taylor Made Sales Agency will consign Street Band to the Fasig-Tipton November Sale, which will be held immediately following the Breeders' Cup on Sunday, Nov. 8 at historic Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Ky.
