A New York-bred yearling filly from the first crop of Quality Road brought $80,000 at Monday’s Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter mixed sale, the last mixed sale of the 2013 auction calendar.
Hip 66, bred by James Moloney and Peter Reynolds and foaled at Jack’s Farm on the Hill in Millbrook, was purchased by Nonesuch from the consignment of Paramount Sales, Agent XII.
The bay filly, born last March 17, is the second registered foal produced by Turbulent Air, an unraced daughter of Montbrook, whose first foal, 3-year-old Hailey’s Star (Medaglia d’Oro) is a two-time winner.
Turbulent Air is a half sister to multiple Grade 2 winner and millionaire Smooth Air (Smooth Jazz) and Overdriven (Tale of the Cat), winner of the 2011 Grade 2 Sanford Stakes. Her second dam Twin Propeller is a multiple stakes winner and there is abundant black type under the third dam.
James Moloney purchased Turbulent Air in foal at the 2011 Keeneland November Breeding Stock sale for $55,000.
