A New York-bred half-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Trinniberg sold for $250,000 – the third highest price of the day – in Tuesday’s second session of Fasig-Tipton’s Kentucky Fall Yearling sale.
Hip 811, a bay filly by Bandini bred by J M Stables, Inc. and foaled at J M Stables in Saugerties, went to Nat Rea’s Regis Farms from the consignment of Romans Racing and Sales Agent. Rea, a Canadian-based businessman and new buyer who is being advised by bloodstock agent Richard Hogan, also bought the second-highest priced horse yesterday, a Kentucky-bred filly by Malibu Moon. “We were just happy to get [Hip 811],” Hogan told the TDN.
The April filly is the fourth foal and first New York-bred out of Bella Dorato, a black type-placed winning daughter of New York sire Goldminers Gold also bred by J M Stables and campaigned by John and Joseph Marino. A half to three other stakes-placed runners, Bella Dorato ($103,420) finished third in the 2005 Finger Lakes Juvenile Fillies Stakes.
All three of Bella Dorato’s foals to start are winners, led by Shivananda Parbhoo’s star sprinter and multiple graded stakes winner Trinniberg, a Kentucky-bred son of Teuflesberg. Earner of $673,000 to date, Trinniberg won this year’s Grade 2 Woody Stephens Stakes, as well as the Grade 3 Swale and Bay Shore. His graded placings include a runner-up finish last year in the Grade 1 Hopeful. Bella Dorato’s 2-year-old filly Ostourah (Teuflesberg) broke her maiden in her September 26 Belmont debut.
