A colt from the first crop of Horse of the Year Authentic was hammered down to Donato Lanni, agent for SF Bloodstock, Starlight Racing and Madaket Stables for $875,000 as the first night of trade at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga reached its midpoint. Hip 56, consigned by Four Star Sales as agent, was bred by Spendthrift Farm–who raced Authentic with Starlight and Madaket and stands him as well–and is the second foal out of the Grade III-placed Golden Domer (Quality Road), who was knocked down to Spendthrift for $340,000 in foal to Candy Ride (Arg) at Keeneland November in 2019. The colt's half-brother by Bolt d'Oro made $275,000 in this sales ring last summer. Early in the session, MyRacehorse–also a partner in Authentic–paid $400,000 for a Machmer Hall Sales-consigned Authentic colt.
