Attila’s Storm Filly Tops Ruidoso New Mexico-Bred Yearling Sale’s Thoroughbred Session

A filly from the late leading sire Attila's Storm topped the Thoroughbred session of the Ruidoso New Mexico-Bred Yearling Sale on Aug. 20, bringing $90,000

The Thoroughbred session was the opening segment of what was a two-day auction at Ruidoso Downs, largely consisting of Quarter Horse yearlings.

A total of 55 horses changed hands during the Thoroughbred session for revenues of $759,600. The average sale price finished at $13,811, and the buyback rate finished at 38 percent.

Joe Dee Brooks purchased the sale-topper, an Attila's Storm filly offered as Hip 41, for $90,000.

The bay filly is out of the winning Gone Hollywood mare Ringback, whose four foals to race are all winners, including stakes winner Hollywood Henry and stakes-placed Fill the Bill. The latter is a full-sibling to the sale-topper.

Bred in New Mexico, the filly hails from the family of English Group 2-placed Miss Demure, and Royal Shyness, who was Group 1-placed in England and a stakes winner in the U.S. She was consigned by A & A Ranch.

Attila's Storm, who died in July, accounted for the three most expensive offerings of the sale's Thoroughbred portion, all consigned by A & A Ranch,

In addition to the top horse, he also saw Hip 68, a filly named High Dollar Hush out of the stakes-winning Untold Gold mare Hush's Gold, sell to Pierre and Leslie Amestoy for $70,000. Rounding out the trio was Hip 51, a filly named Happy and Bold out of the Smoke Glacken mare Bold Jubilation who went to Brad King and Suzanne Kirby for $55,000.

A&A Ranch To Offer New Mexico-Bred Yearling Consignment Directly Off Farm

Fred Alexander of A&A Ranch in Anthony, N.M. announced today that due to COVID-19 restrictions and the relocation of the Ruidoso New Mexico-Bred Yearling Sale to Oklahoma, he is offering his consignment of yearlings for purchase directly from the farm.

All yearlings are currently under sales prep at the farm. More information will be available soon on the A&A Ranch website: www.aaranch.org

After selling the $82,000 sale topper at Ruidoso in 2019, Alexander said, “it was not an easy decision to stay in New Mexico and sell from our home base, but at the end of the day I felt we needed to do what was best for our staff and the horses.”

Alexander continued, “we have another highly promising group for 2020 and feel they will do very well racing in New Mexico.”
