Pizza Bianca’s Dam White Hot Surges To Session Lead at Keeneland November

White Hot (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (hip 170), the dam of 2021 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf heroine Pizza Bianca (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), was knocked down to the BBA Ireland's Michael Donohoe for $2.1 million to take the lead at the Keeneland November Sale Wednesday afternoon. The 10-year-old mare, offered by Stone Farm in foal to the all-conquering Into Mischief, comes with a world of pedigree, as she is a half-sister to 2011 G1 Investec Derby hero Pour Moi (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and MGSW/MG1SP Gagnoa (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), the dam of MGSW/MG1SP Ancient Rome (War Front) and Group 3 winner Etoile (War Front). Celebrity chef Bobby Flay purchased White Hot for 1.25 million guineas ($2,122,050) as a yearling at the 2014 Tattersalls October and her yearling colt by Not This Time sold to Lael Stable for $350,000 at this year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale. Pizza Bianca was bought back on a bid of $3.45 million at Fasig-Tipton November last fall and was one of several high-profile mares purchased by John Stewart Tuesday at Fasig-Tipton.

Spendthrift Makes First KEENOV Purchase, Extends to $1.05 Million For SW & MGISP Tarabi

The Lane's End-consigned Tarabi (First Samurai) (hip 142), second to future champion Echo Zulu (Gun Runner) in the GI Spinaway S. and third to that rival in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at two and winner of the Wilton S. at Saratoga last season, fetched a final bid of $1.05 million from Spendthrift Farm as the opening session of the Keeneland November Sale picked up a bit of steam. The chestnut, a full-sister to the talented GSP & G1SP Japanese turf sprinter Shivaji, is out of an unraced daughter of Grade II winner Buy the Barrel (E Dubai), also the dam of the English Group 3-placed Mise En Rose (War Front) and MSP Stave (Ghostzapper). Tarabi was the third in a stretch of five hips to change hands for seven figures, as both GSW Surprisingly (Mastery) and MGSW/MGISP Technical Analysis (GB) (Kingman {GB}) were knocked down for an even $1 million. The former sold to Mike Repole via his agent Jacob West from the Claiborne Farm draft, while Technical Analysis was purchased by Japan's J S Company from Elite Sales. Spendthrift bought five mares at Fasig-Tipton Tuesday, topped by GI Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath (Arrogate) for $3 million.
