Stakes-placed Breakfastatbonnies, a six-figure earner and full-sister to multiple stakes winner Barese, sold for $90,000 Monday to finish as one of the top-priced New York-breds in the opening session of the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale in Lexington.

Machmer Hall purchased the 5-year-old daughter of Laoban and broodmare prospect, who sold as Hip 57 out of the Four Star Sales consignment.

Bred and Sequel Thoroughbreds LLC and Lakland Farm, foaled at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson and most recently campaigned by Jonathan Thorne and R. A. Hill Stable, Breakfastatbonnies is out of the Successful Appeal mare Right Prevails. She won three of seven starts, finished third in last year’s Broadway Stakes and earned $165,865. One of two winners out of Right Prevails, a full-sister to Grade 3 winner and Kentucky Derby runner-up Closing Argument, Breakfastatbonnies sold for $80,000 at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale.

Monday’s opening session also featured a $100,000 bid for Hip 56, a short yearling filly by Nyquist, and a $90,000 bid for Hip 296, a short yearling colt by Munnings, both purchased by C & S TBS, agent for Ramon Tallaj.

The filly by Nyquist is the first foal out of the First Samurai mare Brand New Game, who is a half-sister to Canadian champion and Grade 1 winner Arravale, stakes winner Hollywood Hideaway and Grade 3-placed Hollywood Critic. Consigned by Hidden Brook, agent, the Nyquist filly was bred by Spruce Lane, Becker, Hidden Brook, Conley, Gibson & Hartman and foaled at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs.

The colt by Munnings is out of the winning Dixie Union mare My Dixie Doodle and a half-brother to three winners including 2020 Jerome Stakes runner-up and $276,098-earner Prince of Pharoahs. Consigned by Stuart Morris, agent for Waldorf Farm, the colt was bred by Dr. Jerry Bilinski and Harry Patten and foaled at Waldorf Farm in North Chatham.

Fasig-Tipton reported sales on 20 of the 23 New York-breds through the ring Monday for a total of $636,200, an average price of $31,810 and median of $13,000.

The sale continues with the final session at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
