262, Quality Road x Ask Me When [Speightstown] colt, doubles the Gone West on both sides. $750,000.

Hip 266 is coming up - he's a full brother to Rushing Fall and is a looker.

Youch, hammered at $150k. Guessing he's an RNA.

[BaroqueAgain1]

266, More than Ready x Autumnal colt, has a strong rear end. Goes for only $150,000!? Can you say RNA?

[KatieK101]

Keep your eye out for Hip 253, a filly by Justify out of American Cleopatra (American Pharoah's full sister). I'm not in love with her physically but she's by a Triple Crown winner out of a full sister to a Triple Crown winner.

Hammered at $750k. I thought she'd go for more, but maybe buyers had the same thoughts about her looks. Wonder if she'll be an RNA.

Nope, she sold to Spendthrift.

i expect hip 300 will light up the board. Quality Road colt out of Catch the Moon. Half sib to 4 graded stake winners including Midnight Bourbon. Dam has thrown 4 graded stakes winners from 5 foals of racing age.. Three of the four are by less than stellar stallions. Colonel John. Shanghai Bobby and Tale of Ekati.

Oh, absolutely. Tiznow certainly isn't a slouch as a sire either, but Curlin is on a whole other level. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up the sale topper.

After going through today's session, I really believe that it is stronger than yesterday's. Very excited for the fireworks!

This colt is by Quality Road, not Curlin, but Quality Road has done well for himself as a stallion, although I think of him more as a filly sire. But the dam certainly seems to throw runners no matter who she's bred to.

My bad, I was thinking of the mare's 2021 Curlin colt. Quality Road is very popular right now, so I don't think the different sire will bother buyers too much Quality Road is also the sire of Justwhistledixie's $1.9million RNA.

Nope, she sold to Spendthrift.

Even if she can't run a lick, she'll be a good broodmare addition based on her bloodlines.

Curious to see if 259, MdO x Arch's Gal Edith filly, lives up to the value shown on her dam side. Mom foaled I'll Have Another, among other stakes horses. $550,000.

RNA.

I thought the same thing. Spendthrift doesn't have any skin in either Triple Crown winner... can't get much better than Justify, o/o a half to AP

276, filly has a killer female family. Justify x Better Not Cry, who is out of Better Than Honour. $225,000.

[KatieK101]

251, an Arrogate colt, sold for only $70,000. I have gotten the impression that his yearlings aren't exactly lighting up the board.

RNA. I'm not surprised since Arrogate only has two winners in his first crop thus far, whereas Gun Runner already has two G1Ws and more SWs. Although I did expect a few more expensive yearlings from him strictly because of the type of mares he was bred to.

Who knows. They might come later in the sale.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Isn't this is Arrogate's only crop?

[starrydreamer]

Isn't this is Arrogate's only crop?

He has two crops, I thought? Maybe not.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Just did some searching on Bloodhorse; Arrogate had three crops. Maybe his next two will show improvement.

[BaroqueAgain1]

I really want to see 284 sell well. A filly by MdO x Bounding (AUS), who is by the gorgeous and great black Aussie, Lonhro. $485,000.

His half brother by Justify is Hip 288, about to hit the ring.

[BaroqueAgain1]

286, the Quality Road x Brielle's Appeal colt, is a handsome bay. Not a speck of white that I can see...love that. Bids rising, rising....$1,150,000.

I thought he was a dead ringer for his sire.

[BaroqueAgain1]

I'm sure 288 will sell high, but we're talking about a sire who couldn't stay sound thru his 3yo season, out of a dam who gave us a freak...who didn't stay sound either. Hmm...$125,000.
RNA probably.

[PONYRCR]

Holy Cow this has to be an RNA. Half to Arrogate by Justify hammers at $125,000.

His half brother by Justify is Hip 288, about to hit the ring.

Hammered at $125k. I thought both his looks and pedigree would go for more than THAT.
