634, Justify x Betterbetterbetter (Galileo) colt looks more like the Galileo side of the family. Nice.
$140,000.

636, City of Light x Birdie Birdie filly, is a handsome leggy bay. Goes for a nice $750,000. Is that the highest bid for this first-year stallion?

City of Light gets the new sales topper of 1.7 million. Colt is out of Anchorage

Looking forward to 648 (Into Mischief x Cathryn Sophia colt) and 649 (Curlin x Cavorting colt) coming up soon.

648, Into M x Cathryn Sophia colt, goes for $675,000.
He appears to have withers set back kind of far.

649, Curlin x Cavorting colt, goes to $550,000. He doesn't look as husky as some Curlins.

650, a pretty bay AP x Celebrity Cat filly. Not many Storm Cat mares still producing, I would guess. Nice female family. $50,000. Ouch.

654, Quality Road x Cherry Lodge (Bernardini) colt has a really nice female family. Going up...up...$800,000.

661, Quality Road x Color Me Flying filly, female family of My Flag, goes for a nice $700,000. Even if she can't run, she should make a good addition to a broodmare band.

Not sure I would want the guy trying to sell a yearling invoke the name Cezanne.

Purchased by Juddmonte so they're likely thinking the same.

717 is a filly by Lope de Vega out of Glittering Tax, dam of the wonderful Miss Temple City. Hope she is appreciated, even with the grass breeding.
$200,000.

722, colt by Arrogate x G1 winner Got Lucky, may test the interest in Arrogate. Can't get a lot better than a G1 A.P. Indy dam....$150,000.

723, City of Light x Grand Glory sells well, $650,000. CoL seems to be doing well for a freshman sire.

I wonder if Coolmore will lease American Pharoah to Japan for a year or two. I haven't heard that his SH runners have done a lot and I think his yearling price down there were fairly down from the first year. A lot of the ones bought so far have been by Japanese interests anyway.

$150,000 is a lot of money!!!

I actually thought he would be an RNA, but the sale went through.

West Point and partners are really spending big at this sale so far.

No mention of success on the track, training, soundness etc. All about breeding success. Breed to breed not to race seems to be the theme.

Right? I noticed that years ago. First thing they comment on is that the colt has a great stallion pedigree. Drives me crazy.
