La Verdad’s fourth foal brings $450,000 at Gulfstream sale

By Tom Law

A colt by leading sire Into Mischief out of Eclipse Award winner and New York-bred champion La Verdad topped a trio of New York-breds that sold for six figures at Wednesday’s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale of selected 2-year-olds in training.

Named Prince of Truth and offered as Hip 23[2], the bay colt bred by Lady Sheila Stable and Edition Farm and foaled at Edition Farm in Hyde Park sold for $450,000 to bloodstock agent Dennis O’Neill. Consigned by Ciaran Dunne’s Wavertree Stables, Inc., agent, Prince of Truth breezed an eighth during presale workouts in :10.2.

La Verdad earned the Eclipse Award for champion female sprinter for 2015, the same year she finished second in the TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Keeneland. The daughter of Yes It’s True also earned champion New York-bred female sprinter honors in 2015 and helped her dam, the Hook and Ladder mare Noble Fire, earn Broodmare of the Year honors in New York that same season.

Campaigned by Lady Sheila Stable, La Verdad won 16 of 25 starts and earned $1,563,200. She won 11 stakes, including Grade 2 Distaff Handicap in 2014 and 2015 and Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Handicap in 2015. She’s the dam of three other foals, including the winning New York-bred Medaglia d’Oro mare La Kara Mia and the placed New York-bred Tapit filly La Victoria, who sold for $800,000 at the 2018 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. Prince of Truth was a $675,000 RNA at last year’s Keeneland September yearling sale.

The second highest-priced New York-bred was one of the first juveniles through the ring when Steve Young, agent, went to $320,000 to purchase Hip 10[4], a daughter of Kantharos out of the winning A.P. Indy mare Girlaboutown.

Consigned by Tom McCrocklin, agent, the half-sister to stakes-placed winner Ready A. P. breezed a quarter-mile in :21.1 during presale workouts.

Bred by Chester and Mary Broman, foaled at their Chestertown Farm in Chestertown and a $170,000 purchase by Champion Equine at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale, the filly is the fourth foal out of Girlaboutown.

A daughter of Wild Rush out of multiple Grade 2 winner Carmandia, Girlaboutown is the dam of two winners from two foals to race.

Tom McCrocklin also consigned the day’s other six-figure New York-bred. Hip 45[6], a colt by Twirling Candy out of the winning Bluegrass Cat mare Purple Cat, sold for $200,000 to trainer Mike Maker.

Bred by Newtownanner Stud, foaled at Jacks Farm on the Hill in Millbrook and purchased by McCrocklin for $97,000 at last year’s Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale, the colt breezed a quarter in :21.2. He’s the eighth foal out of Purple Cat, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Sky Diva and stakes winner Quick Little Miss. Purple Cat is the dam of two winners – the New York-bred Mizzen Mast gelding Catapult Jack and the New York-bred Curlin mare Deep Space.
