Hip 69[2], a bay weanling colt by The Factor bred in New York by McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds[3], emerged as the fifth-top-selling weanling overall when he was purchased by Lane’s End Bloodstock for $190,000 during the action-packed single session of the Fasig-Tipton November sale on Sunday following the Breeders’ Cup.

Consigned by Hunter Valley Farm, agent, the sale colt, a February 12 foal, is the third offspring of Flash Act, a winning Kentucky-bred daughter of Sky Mesa out of multiple grade 1 winner Missy’s Mirage (Stop the Music).

Missy’s Mirage, the dam of multiple stakes winner Apprehender (Posse), is also a half-sister to grade 1 winner Classy Mirage, the dam of grade 1 winning sire Dublin. There is abundant graded black type also under the colt’s fourth dam Gray Mirage.
