A Majestic Warrior filly bred by Sequel Thoroughbreds / Twin Creeks Racing (Hip 225) drew a winning bid of $300,000 from Speedway Stable to top the New York-bred offerings in the opening session of the new larger-format OBS March sale of 2-year-olds in training on Tuesday.
Consigned by Cary Frommer, who purchased the filly for $140,000 from Sequel Stallions New York at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton New York-bred preferred sale, the bay filly breezed an eighth of a mile in :10 1/5 seconds in the under tack show.
Foaled on May 3, 2013 at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson, the sale filly is the fifth foal out of Kettle’s Sister (More than Ready), the dam of Vinceremos (Pioneerof the Nile), winner of the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes and second in the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby. The mare’s first foal Dr. Chase (Tiz Wonderful) is also a winner.
The filly’s second dam is stakes placed Safe at the Plate, who is a half-sister to champion sprinter and $2.1 million dollar earner Safely Kept. Kettle’s Sister currently has a yearling filly by Mission Impazible, to whom she was bred back in 2014.
The top New York-bred colt on Tuesday was Hip 131, dark bay or brown individual by Super Saver purchased for $180,000 from Charlotte Weber’s Live Oak Plantation, the buyer of four lots in the session including the session-topping Bernardini colt, for $1.4-million.
Bred by Carl Bennett and foaled on May 11, 2013 at Hilltop Stable in Deposit, the sale colt worked an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5 in the under tack show and came into the ring with plenty of auction experience under his belt. Secured by Damien Farms as a weanling at the 2013 Keeneland November sale, he RNA’d at $145,000 as a Keeneland September yearling before selling to Boomer Investments for $100,000 at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October yearling sale. His consignor at OBS was Hartley / De Renzo Thoroughbreds.
The colt’s dam is Fly the Colors (Giant’s Causeway), who was purchased by Carl Bennett at the 2010 Keeneland November sale for $40,000. The producer of two winners, including six-figure earner Twin Engine by Mr. Greeley, Fly the Colors is out of Grade 1 winner Runup the Colors (A.P, Indy) and a half-sister to talented Louisiana Derby winner and millionaire Revolutionary by War Pass. Last year Fly the Colors was bred to Lonhro (AUS).
Nine New York-bred juveniles sold in in the sale’s opening session of 15 offered for an average price of $121,333 and $120,000 median. The sale concludes on Wednesday, March 18 with hips 305-610. Click here to view New York-bred hips.
