A colt by Uncle Mo bred in New York by Dr. Jerry Bilinski and foaled at his Waldorf Farm in North Chatham elicited a bid of $310,000 Wednesday to lead all New York-breds through the first three of four sessions of the Keeneland January horses of all ages sale in Lexington.
Sand Hill Bloodstock purchased the short yearling colt, who is the second foal out of the unraced Smart Strike mare Canadian River and sold as Hip 472[2]. The colt was consigned by Stuart Morris, agent for Waldorf Farm.
Bilinski purchased Canadian River, a half-sister to Group 2 winner Montgomery’s Arch and stakes winner Welcome Inn, in foal to West Coast for $27,000 at the 2019 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. The subsequent foal, a Kentucky-bred colt born in late January 2020, sold for $6,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall yearling sale.
The Uncle Mo colt was one of five short yearlings to sell for six figures. Through the first three sessions, 31 of the 39 short yearlings offered have sold for a total of $1,946,000, an average price of $62,774 and median of $35,000.
