Blonde Bomber is gorgeous!

Sotto Voce (2.7 Mil KEESEPT Yearling Unraced half to Cupid) I/F to Justify
Callback (G1W Sold for 2.8 Mil @ FTKNOV15) I/F to MD'oro
Molly Corbin (1/2 to Peeping Fawn) I/F to Justify

It is strange to me that they still list mares with a covering sire when they are believed to not be pregnant. Honestly, by this time, it is pretty obvious whether or not they are pregnant if vets are checking with ultrasound or labwork. It would just make more sense to leave covering sire blank wouldn't it?

You don't see Dubai Millennium mares up for auction very often, but there are a couple (hips 687 and 4035) in the sale.

Stallions: Prospective, Honorable Dillon, He's Had Enough and Atreides are entered.

Honorable Dillion is very pretty. Rockridge must be serious about selling him since he's not on their website anymore.

The following *interesting* fellas are being consigned as racing or stallion prospects. I imagine there will be outs.

MG1W Annals of Time
G1W Sporting Chance *
MGSW Timeline, Catapult, American Anthem
G3W Madison's Luna, Mr. Ritz, New York Central, Hot Springs, Rotation (full to Tapiture), Archaggelos (half to Big Brown)
MGSP Combatant, Nero, Whiskey Echo
SW Mask (family of Bullsbay), Giant Run (Maryland champion)
W Southern Phantom, Exclamation Point (half to Classic Empire)

And Osage Moon, a maiden out of Oatsee, maiden Spiritus Invictus* (o/o Centre Court), and a slough of barely raced Shadwells.

*Sold only as stallion prospect.

I'll take:
0989 - Daveron
1996 - Ocean Colors (side note: her weanling in the sale is 2x3 Orientate, that seems a little close )
3117 - Ticonderoga
3121 - Top Line Growth
3135 - American Anthem
3954 - Joyful Joyful (American steeplechase pedigree!!!)

Well a similar cross from that female family of Ocean Colors produced Perfect Alibi and that female family does seem to do well with Nasrullah sirelines. I would be more worried by a bit of a spotty produce record and the lack of talent in the named foals. She is also coming in barren apparently, so she should be available at a good price. She only went for 20K last year with a foal on board.

IIRC, Madison's Luna is a really attractive Tapit. Very Pretty Pony.
In Combatant, you get a Scat Daddy who wasn't a half-bad racehorse. He might make some regional breeder very happy.

Oh he is. ML is one of those grays that looks shiny.

Ill take Honorable Dillon for my sporthorse prospect please

Summer Bird mares and grandfoals to watch out in the sales

Session 1 (6th Nov):
Distinta (in foal to Medaglia d'Oro) (Hip 218)
Distinta's colt by Mastery (Hip 219)

Session 6 (11th):
Hallie Gay (in foal to Constitution) (Hip 2301)

Session 9 (14th):
Summertime Gal (in foal to California Chrome) (Hip 3345)

I am actually surprised to see that Distinta is being offered for sale with her Mastery colt

Gloryzapper (G3W i/f to Tapit) and Eve Harrington (half to Arklow) have also been supplemented.
