At the conclusion of the Wanamaker's October Sale, a total of 26 horses went through the digital ring for a gross of $397,750, which included the site's second highest priced horse sold, the online auction said in a release late Thursday.

Offered by trainer Michael Merryman on behalf of The Orebanks, the topper was Bandonarun (Uncle Lino) (hip 48), who went to Bradley Weisbord for $300,000, on behalf of Everett Dosbon.

“I am excited to buy her for the Dobson family. We have not bought many for Everett over the years, but we had some early success buying proven runners that went on to win stakes”, said Weisbord.

“We are thrilled with the sale of Bandonarun for an impressive $330,000, the second-highest priced horse we have sold,” said Wanamaker's CEO Liza Hendriks. “As we move forward, Wanamaker's is committed to pioneering the future of Thoroughbred auctions in the digital age, connecting buyers and sellers from around the country in an innovative and efficient manner.”

Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: A New Generation Of Sires In The Keystone State

The top of the Pennsylvania sire standings hasn't changed much over the past few years.

Once the mighty Jump Start took over the top of the podium six years ago, he has yet to relinquish it, and his rival Weigelia has never been far behind. However, Jump Start's death in 2019 means his position at the head of the class will eventually open up and be claimed by one of Pennsylvania's younger sires.

The class of stallions poised to take over in the long-term, those with five crops of racing age or less, each have their own unique sets of circumstances, but in the meantime, they have been making their owners five-figure sums in Pennsylvania stallion awards.

When a registered Pennsylvania-bred and -sired runner finishes in the top three at Parx Racing, Penn National, or Presque Isle Downs, the owner of their sire receives a 10 percent bonus of the purse share, which can add up quickly for a stallion with an army of runners in the state.

The clear leader in the class with five crops of racing age or less is El Padrino, whose long-term potential was snuffed out in 2017 when he died following colic surgery.

El Padrino left behind four crops, all now at racing age, and those runners have earned the stallion's owner, Northview Stallion Station, $70,284 in bonus money so far in 2021.

The biggest contributor to that pot has been Prince of Rain, a 4-year-old gelding who has generated $11,459 in stallion awards this season, with top-three finishes in eight of his 10 starts.

After winning his debut start at Penn National on Feb. 24, Prince of Rain finished second in a trio of allowance races at Penn National and Parx, before getting back on the winning track in a Penn National allowance on May 28. He added another win two starts later in a July 28 allowance at Parx Racing.

Prince of Rain has since graduated to state-bred stakes company, highlighted by a third-place effort in the Banjo Picker Sprint Stakes at Parx on Aug. 23.

The gelding races as a homebred for the Z & Z Stables of trainer Michael Zalalas and breeder Angelo Zalalas.

With second-place Uncle Lino having moved to Maryland, the stallion with the greatest inside track to long-term success in the Pennsylvania standings among the younger stallions is arguably Godstone Farm's Well Spelled.

Well Spelled, a 12-year-old son of Spellbinder, has four crops of racing age that has made Godstone Farm $30,863 in stallion award earnings this season.

The leader among Well Spelled's stallion award earners is No More Martinis, a 4-year-old gelding who has brought in $5,155 in awards for that category. No More Martinis has won three of four starts this year, all at Penn National.

Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Northview Stallion Station Paces Keystone State By Incentive Earnings

Northview Stallion Station's Pennsylvania division may no longer be in operation, but its presence is still felt in a big way through the state's stallion owner incentive program earnings.

Northview PA ended stallion operations at its Peach Bottom, Pa., location and consolidated its roster to its Maryland branch at the end of the 2020 breeding season, or moved the horses to other farms in Pennsylvania. However, its $197,039 in stallion owner awards through the end of July was nearly three times that of next-closest WynOaks Farm with $68,601.

Stallion owners in Pennsylvania receive a 10 percent bonus of the purse share earned when a registered Pennsylvania-bred by a Pennsylvania stallion finishes in the top three at an in-state racetrack.

Northview accounts for three of the top six stallions by incentive earnings, including the runaway leader, Jump Start.

The late son of A.P. Indy generated $91,829 in stallion awards through the end of July, led by stakes winner Hey Mamaluke, who made his sire $7,275 at the cutoff point. Jump Start's second-highest stallion award earner, and his top filly, was two-time winner Amen Sylvia, who made $5,761 for her stallion in the time frame.

Another departed stallion accounted for Northview's second-highest incentive earning stallion, and the state's third-highest overall.

El Padrino, who died in 2017, has generated $50,625 in stallion incentive awards, led by Prince of Rain. The 4-year-old gelding put up $11,459 on behalf of his sire, highlighted by a debut maiden score at Penn National, allowance wins at Penn National and Parx Racing, and a third-place effort in the Banjo Picker Sprint Stakes at Parx.

Rounding out the top trio was young sire Uncle Lino, who has brought in $29,700 through stallion awards, placing him sixth overall.

The 8-year-old son of Uncle Mo's top stallion incentive earner was Marvalous Mike, whose $12,536 in stallion bonuses was the third-most of any Pennsylvania-bred. He reached that level with a three-race winning streak at Parx, first winning a maiden special weight, then taking an optional claiming race and an allowance race. Marvalous Mike most recently finished second in the Parx Summer Sprint Stakes.

Uncle Lino Sires First Winner At Delaware Park

Pennsylvania stallion Uncle Lino was represented by his first winner at stud on Saturday, when the filly Hipnotizada drew off to win a Delaware Park maiden special weight by 6 1/4 lengths, BloodHorse reports.

In her second career start, Hipnotizada took the lead out of the gate under jockey Carol Cedeno and drew off relatively unchallenged to win the 5 1/2-furlong race and stop the clock in 1:04.29 over a fast main track. Anthony Pecoraro trained the filly for owner Black Cloud Racing Stable.

Hipnotizada was bred in Pennsylvania by White Diamond Inc., out of the placed Harlan's Holiday mare Precious Penny. Champion Victorian Prince is in her extended family.

Uncle Lino stood the 2020 breeding season at Northview PA in Peach Bottom, Pa., for an advertised fee of $4,000.

The 7-year-old son of Uncle Mo won two of eight starts during his on-track career for earnings of $316,160. In addition to winning the California Chrome Stakes, Uncle Lino finished second in the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes and third in the G1 Santa Anita Derby.

Uncle Lino is out of the unraced Orientate mare Haysee. His second dam is 2011 Broodmare of the Year Oatsee, making Haysee a sibling to Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford, Grade 1 winner Lady Joanne, Grade 2 winner Afleeting Lady, Grade 3 winner Baghdaria, Grade 2-placed stakes winner Stephanoatsee, and graded stakes producer Grand Portege.
