Another Into Mischief Colt Joins Parade of Seven-Figure Yearlings at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga

The parade of seven-figure yearlings continued Tuesday night at the second session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale when a colt by Into Mischief out of GSP Virginia Key (Distorted Humor) fetched $1 million from the partnership of WinStar Farm, Siena Farm, and China Horse Club. Consigned by St George Sales, the colt is out of a half-sister to 2021 GI TVG Del Mar Debutante S. winner Grace Adler (Curlin), who brought $2 million at last year's Fasig-Tipton November sale, and from the same family as GI Whitney H. winner Bullsbay (Tiznow). Bred in Kentucky by Blue Heaven Farm, hip 208 was foaled Feb. 24 of last year. Four-time leading sire Into Mischief also had a $1.5-million colt earlier in the session out of 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Spinaway S. heroine Rachel's Valentina (Bernardini) when selling to Aron Wellman's Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners.

Fireworks as Beholder’s Colt by Curlin Hammers for $4 Million at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga

The explosive start to Tuesday night's second session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale continued when a colt by two Hall of Famers–Curlin and Beholder (Henny Hughes)–led all yearlings thus far when he sold for $4 million to Amr Zedan. Donato Lanni, agent for Zedan Racing, signed the ticket. The much-anticipated offering, recently featured in TDN, was bred in Kentucky by Spendthrift Farm and consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency. The Apr. 6-foaled chestnut is the first-ever sales offering out of his champion dam, who was represented by her first stakes winner May 6 when 3-year-old Teena Ella (War Front) won the GIII Senorita S. at Santa Anita. In addition to four championship titles of her own, Beholder is out a Broodmare of the Year in Leslie's Lady (Tricky Creek), who also produced Spendthrift's multiple leading sire Into Mischief, and Breeders' Cup winner/Coolmore sire Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy). The $4-million colt was Hip 165. Curlin was the only sire at Monday night's first session with two yearlings among the top 10 highest-priced offerings, including a $1.05-million filly, and, among his mountain of accomplishments, sired three individual Eclipse Award winners last year.

Into Mischief Colt Continues Rousing Start To Night Two at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga

The early action at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga continued hot and heavy, as hip 135 became the third million-dollar seller within the first 15 horses offered when hammering to Aron Wellman's Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners for $1.5 million, the most expensive of the three early headliners. The colt's breeder, Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, will also stay in for a piece. The dark bay is a son of the all-conquering Into Mischief and was produced by 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Spinaway S. heroine Rachel's Valentina (Bernardini). The latter is, of course, a daughter of Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro) and is one of just two foals out of the 2009 Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old filly. The cross of Into Mischief over Bernardini mares has been successful, having accounted for GSWs Twenty Carat and Owendale. Hip 135 was consigned by Taylor Made Sales as agent for Barbara Banke's operation.
