Keeneland September (12-25) Yearling Sale

[BaroqueAgain1]

563 is a War Front colt, half to Congrats and Flatter, goes for only $100,000.
Since he appeared to have a head and four legs, I suspect an RNA.

544 is a very attractive colt out of an A.P. Indy Mare but he's her first so I don't know how high he'll go.

$150 000 for this Pioneerof the Nile colt.

551 an other PotN out of a Forest Wildcat went for 350 000$
(And before I posted this, yet an other PotN 558 hammered at 145 000$)

555 $825 000 a Ghostzapper colt

ETA: DANGIT I missed the MMM half

[Treve]

IMO, Ghostzapper is having a resurgence. 555, GZ colt out of a Seeking the Gold mare, goes for $825,000.

Been noticing this as well. I wonder if Shaman Ghost, Go Maggie Go (and Gamble's Ghost) might be boosting his advertising. He's also gotten a G1 winner in Brazil so that's two separate G1 winners this year, and 6 separate graded stakes winner this year. He's having a good year I think, so the boost in interest makes sense.

571 War Front x Prize Catch colt goes for $1,900,000

[BaroqueAgain1]

571, War Front colt out of A.P. Indy mare Prize Catch, heads past a million...like many War Fronts, looks a balanced, well-put-together horse, goes for $1,900,000.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Along with Ghostzapper, it looks like Speightstown is also having a good sale. Lots of decent prices, and even sales to the Japanese. His get run on anything, over most distances, so I think he's attractive to a variety of buyers.

573, a Ghostzapper filly out of Proud Pearl, Proud Spell's full sis, goes for $425,000.
I'm going to guess an RNA.

467. a War Front colt out of the good racemare Love and Pride...very good female family, goes over a million...hammers for $1, 300,000.

I've said this before, but I want to again! I just love the handler in the ring with this horse. I forget his name, but I'm sure he's also the one who was with Eblouissant when she needed to pee and he was like "Not yet sweetie!" LOL

I also like how he gave this colt a pat as he handed him back over when he sold.

I think the same handler handled the Havre De Grace colt, gave him a quick kiss on the neck when he 'sold'.

That was Cordell Anderson, who's also Runhappy's caretaker. He is one of the best handlers I've ever seen, if not the best.

577 is a very pretty Animal Kingdom filly. But only $100,000.

$1.9 million War Front goes to Shadwell

[BaroqueAgain1]

578, a colt by War Front out of the stakes-winning Sadler's Wells mare, Quarter Moon, should be popular. Very alert, handsome, nearly-black colt, $800,000.
ETA: 561, the $2,000,000 Tapit/Ponche de Leona colt goes to Bridlewood Farm & M.V. Magnier.
