Coolmore Again as Gamine Takes Lead at Fasig-Tipton

Brilliant champion and 'TDN Rising Star' Gamine (Into Mischief) looks poised to top her second Fasig-Tipton Sale after sparking a furious bidding war in Newtown Paddocks just after 9:00 p.m. Sunday night. When the dust had settled, Coolmore's MV Magnier–who has been extremely active all night–was holding the $7-million ticket to take home the $1.8-million FTMMAY '19 topper and five-time Grade I winner. Gamine was consigned by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, agent as hip 289. The Michael Lund Petersen colorbearer was offered carrying her first foal by Quality Road.

Five Mill from Coolmore for Campanelle

Globe-trotting MG1SW and highweight Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) matched the top price paid (so far) at Fasig-Tipton November Sunday when Coolmore's M.V. Magnier came out on top of a spirited duel to land the Stonestreet colorbearer for $5 million. Seventh in Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, the Wesley Ward-trained millionaire was consigned as hip 272 by Eaton Sales and offered as a racing or broodmare prospect. She was purchased for the equivalent of $243,773 by Ben McElroy as a Tattersalls October yearling.

Bellafina Brings $4 Million at Fasig

MGISW Bellafina (Quality Road)'s first foal by Uncle Mo went for $1.35 million earlier in the session at Fasig-Tipton November and, as expected, the $1.6-million earner was plenty popular herself in the ring, ultimately garnering a winning bid of $4 million from Coolmore's M.V. Magnier. The 6-year-old was offered in foal to young MGISW Tiz the Law and consigned to the sale by Eaton Sales as hip 264. The Coolmore partners had co-campaigned Bellafina with original owner Kaleem Shah towards the end of her career. She was an $800,000 FTFMAR buy by Shah.

Pope Strikes Again for Wicked Whisper

Whisper Hill Farm's Mandy Pope had already signed the $5-million ticket for GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil) during Fasig-Tipton's Night of the Stars, and she made another high-dollar addition to her world-class broodmare band when spending $2.9 million to secure 2019 GI Frizette S. heroine Wicked Whisper (Liam's Map). Barren to Uncle Mo in her first mating, the half-sister to GSW/MGISP Point of Honor (Curlin) was carrying a first foal by that one's top sire. The Steve Asmussen-trained Wicked Whisper was a $500,000 KEESEP yearling purchase by Alex and JoAnn Lieblong. She was consigned here by Denali Stud, Agent II.
