Four New York-breds sold during the second session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale of selected yearlings, headlined by the $400,000 purchase of Hip 167. A chestnut son of Charlatan, Hip 167 was consigned by Archie St. George’s St. George Sales and sold to Pete Bradley’s Bradley Thoroughbreds, agent for Rodeo Creek Racing.

“He was an absolute athlete, he exuded class and he was in my price range,” Bradley said. “Well balanced, had a hip on him like a washer woman and was a physical specimen.”

Out of the More Than Ready mare More Than Speed, Hip 167 is a half-brother to Baby Yoda, the winner of last year’s Grade 2 True North at Saratoga Race Course. Hip 167 was bred by Town & Country Farms and was born at Mahoney Eden Manor in Saratoga Springs.

St. George was pleased with the interest shown in Hip 167.

“It was a very good sale,” St. George said. “He was very popular. First of all, I’d like to thank the buyers, Pete Bradley and Devon Bradley. I wish them the best of luck. He’s a very nice horse. The main thing now is he goes and runs for the buyers.”

Charlatan is a freshman sire this year and has produced two winners. Bradley is excited about purchasing a New York-bred by the young stallion.

“His first crop as 2-year-olds, he’s had a couple of nice winners, but I think he’s one of those horses that people are a little iffy to buy at this point. I think that could change in two or three winners, it usually does,” Bradley said. “He’s a lovely horse. The New York-bred program, the way it’s shaping up right now, has some of the best money in the United States. You’ve got to be looking at those kinds of horses.”

In total, eight New York-breds sold during the two-day sale, up from five in 2024.

Hip 152, a chestnut daughter of Jackie’s Warrior, sold to Amerman Racing through agent Bob Feld for $350,000.

“She was very correct and I liked everything about her,” Feld said. “It’s always a gamble on first-year sires. I’ve had a lot of luck buying first-year sires. My son and I have done very well doing that. You always roll the dice, but Jackie’s Warrior was a pretty impressive racehorse. She’s very nice.”

After selling for $200,000 as a weanling at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Mixed Sale, Hip 152’s success Tuesday pleased Kitty Day of Warrendale Sales.

“Very much satisfied,” Day said. “She was a $200,000 weanling, she more than realized a profit for the owners. We’re very pleased, they’re pleased. She was bought by a great family to race, so we’re very happy.”

Bred by Emcee Stable and Fortune Farm, Hip 152 was born at Mill Creek Farm in Stillwater, N.Y. Feld said the filly out of the Yes It’s True mare Martini would likely travel to Barry Berkelhammer’s Abracadabra Farm in Ocala, F.L. to start preparing for a racing career next year.

Four New York-breds sold during the opening session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale of selected yearlings Monday.

Hip 102, a chestnut daughter of Flightline, headlined Monday’s New York-bred offerings when she sold for $625,000 to Chad Schumer, agent for KGS. The filly is out of the Grade 3-winning Bellamy Road mare Georgie’s Angel, which makes her a half-sister to two-time Grade 1 winner Cave Rock.

“She’s a lovely filly,” Schumer said about Hip 102. “She’s by an absolute superstar in Flightline. It’s rare that you see a group of yearlings by the same stallion, a new stallion, that you like them all. They’ve all been fantastic, so I really wanted to get one for the client. She’s a half to a Grade 1 winner, so she’s got tremendous residual. Really good breeders, she came from a great home. She’s just a lovely filly. Ticked all the boxes, as they say.”

Bred by Kathleen Burke Schweizer and Daniel Burke and foaled at Longford Farm in Elmira, the filly was consigned by Eaton Sales, agent. The filly’s high price generated a lot of excitement for Eaton Sales’ Pamela Rider.

“Her physique is beautiful, her temperament is even better and she’s got the pedigree to back it up, as well,” she said.

Schumer came into the sale equally impressed with Hip 102.

“Tremendous walk on her, full of class,” he said. “She’s just one of those horses when you look at her, you might not know her pedigree, but you’d know she’d be well bred.”

Schumer entered the Saratoga sale with plans to buy top-class yearlings, so he’s pleased to have bought a member of Flightline’s highly anticipated first crop.

“This is the best yearling sale in America,” he said. “It’s a flagship. If you want to race at the top, this is where you have to buy. So, here we are.”

Hip 46 sold for $500,000 to new owner Josh Isner’s Cha Cha Chestnuts. Agents Liz Crow and Brad Weisbord picked out the colt by Maclean’s Music.

“He looks like he has a lot of speed, and he’s a New York-bred, so we’re hoping to run him up here next summer at Saratoga,” Crow said. “We’re excited about him.”

Out of the Speightstown mare Bay Harbor, the colt was bred by Fred Hertrich III, John Fielding and Robert Tribbett and foaled at Sugar Maple Farm in Poughquag. He was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent.

“We thought he would bring $400,000 to $500,000,” Hertrich said. “Liz Crow and Brad Weisbord bought him and they’re very astute horse people. We’ve had luck selling them horses, and they’ve had luck buying from us. We’re very happy. They’re good people and they’ll do a great job.”

Hip 82, daughter of Cyberknife and half-sister to recent Grade 1 Test Stakes competitor and graded stakes winner Cash Call, sold for $300,000 to Mike Ryan.

Bred by Jerry Bilinski and foaled at his Waldorf Farm in North Chatham, the filly was consigned by C & S Thoroughbreds after selling for $230,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga fall mixed sale. She’s out of the winning D’wildcat mare D’Fashion.

“She’s a half-sister to two good fillies, one that’s current. Cash Call is a stakes winner this year,” Ryan said. “She’s the first crop of Cyberknife. She’s an outstanding physical. She’s got plenty of family on the female side, two half-sisters that are good stakes winners, so that always helps. She’s a New York-bred, but she looks like she’ll hold her own very well in open company. And the fact that she’s a New York-bred is just icing on the cake. She’s a quality filly. There’s a lot of nice horses here, but she was very high on my list.”

Hip 43, the first New York-bred to sell Monday, went for $190,000 to Robbie Medina, agent for Snake River Stables. The bay colt by Jack Christopher out of the stakes-winning Flatter mare Baby Nina was bred by Sunset Ridge Farm, foaled at River Valley Farm in Gansevoort and consigned by Ballysax Bloodstock, agent.

“I liked Jack Christopher a lot as a racehorse, and that horse looks pretty fast. I was kind of attracted to him, so I think he’s a good buy,” Medina said. “It’s uber competitive, especially tonight. Everything is at above premium price, so when you get something, you’re pretty happy.”

The sale continues with the second session at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

A pair of New York-bred colts – including one from the first crop of New York-based sire Galilean – sold for $700,000 to spark Tuesday’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale of 2-year-olds in training in Timonium, Maryland.

Bloodstock agent Mahmud Mouni purchased both colts during the sale condensed to a single session after issues with the Timonium racing surface postponed and eventually shifted last week’s presale under-tack shows to a gallop-only event Sunday.

The colts were Hip 187, a colt by Galilean offered by Ciaran Dunne’s Wavertree Stables Inc. consignment; and Hip 136, a colt from the first crop of Yaupon sold by Grassroots Training and Sales LLC.

“I’m so happy,” said Mouni, who bought five juveniles including another colt by Into Mischief for $1 million. “The horses were bought for Tagermeen Racing, a group of Libyan owners together. About five owners. All our horses I purchased for them. They will all stay in the United States for racing.”

Bred by Andy and the late Susan Beadnell and foaled at their Bead Land & Cattle Co. in Pottersville, the Galilean colt is the second foal out of the winning Mineshaft mare It’s Timeless. The Beadnells also bred the mare’s first foal, the New York-bred 3-year-old Global Campaign filly Campaign Champagne.

Gabrielle Farm and Saratoga Glen Farm also bred Frosty Margarita’s first foal, the Malibu Moon gelding Malibu Margarita, and her yearling daughter of leading New York sire Central Banker.

“In my opinion (and) in my experience, I think Fasig-Tipton is one of the best auction sales,” Mouni said. “I’m so lucky to get these horses here. It feels like they are selected horses. You can find whatever you want. I like the facilities. The people help me so much. That is a very special thing.”

Bred by Pine Ridge Stable LLC and foaled at Waldorf Farm in North Chatham, the filly is no stranger to being a session topper. She sold for $72,000 to highlight the second session of last year’s Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October yearling sale.

Grassroots Training and Sales – the buyer in Kentucky – consigned the filly who breezed an eighth in :9.4 during presale workouts. She’s the fourth foal out of Onebrethatatime, a three-time winner who earned $133,283 and is a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Wonderlandbynight and Gilded Miracle, the dam of Grade 1 winner Exaulted.

The Authentic filly finished the day as one of three six-figure New York-breds. OBS reported sales on 16 of the 19 New York-breds through the ring for $1,405,000, an average price of $87,813 and median of $55,000.

Sallusto and Kimmel, agent for Winning Move Stable, landed the second highest priced New York-bred of the day, going to $135,000 for the daughter of Combatant out of the Central Banker mare Moneybackguarantee.

Consigned and bred by McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds LLC, Hip 179 was also foaled at McMahon of Saratoga in Saratoga Springs. She’s the second foal out of Moneybackguarantee, who produced fillies by McMahon’s resident stallion Solomini in 2022 and 2024.

Grade 1 winner Combatant, a popular stallion in the Empire State in his first season at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, died suddenly from Colic while standing the Southern Hemisphere season in August 2022 at Haras Porta Pia in Chile. Combatant stood his first season for $7,500 LFSN and bred 85 mares in his initial book.

Grassroots Training and Sales also sold the opening session’s top-priced colt, Hip 155, a son of Rock Your World out of the winning Dynaformer mare Miss Blarney Stone.

Bred by and foaled at Sugar Maple Farm in Poughquag, the colt was purchased by Clear Stars Stable and Mitre Box Stable. He originally sold to Grassroots Training and Sales for $50,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale. Miss Blarney Stone is the dam of six winners, including stakes-placed Irish Sweepstakes and Begginer.

Clear Stars Stable and Mitre Box Stable also landed the session’s top-priced juvenile by an active New York-based stallion. Hip 13, a colt by King for a Day out of the Into Mischief mare Kiska, sold for $50,000.

Bred by Torie Gladwell and foaled at Stonegate Stables in Fort Edward, the colt was consigned by Top Line Sales, agent. Gladwell also bred both New York-bred winners out of Kiska – the Sharp Azteca filly Perfectly Mperfect and the 3-year-old Solomini filly Bam’s Bliss Kiss, who finished sixth in last weekend’s Park Avenue division of the New York Stallion Series Stakes for Clear Stars Stable and Mitre Box Stable.

King for a Day, a 9-year-old son of Uncle Mo out of the French Deputy mare Ubetwereven, stands for $5,000 at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC in Stillwater.

Seven juveniles sold for $1 million or more during the three-day Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s March sale of 2-year-olds in training this week, including a New York-bred daughter of Quality Road that commanded a final bid of $1.05 million during Thursday’s final session.

AMO Racing USA LLC landed the filly, who finished as the sale’s top-priced New York-bred and third most expensive filly overall. Ben McElroy signed the ticket on behalf of AMO Racing for Hip 636, who is out of the multiple stakes winner and Grade 1-placed Congrats mare Toasting.

“AMO is looking for high-end fillies that can go two turns on the dirt … and this filly fit the mold,” McElroy said. “She breezed very well, she’s by a top sire of fillies. She’s been on our hit list right from the get-go. We’ll take her back, assess her and make a decision on a trainer. She’s not a filly that is going to be running super early, so we have time.”

Consigned by Ciaran Dunne’s Wavertree Stables Inc., the filly breezed an eighth in :9.4 during presale workouts.

Bred by 3C Stables LLC, the filly originally sold for $350,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale. She’s the fifth foal out of Toasting and a half-sister to four-time winner Robber Baron and 2025 winner Concorde Spirit.

The sale of the Quality Road filly sparked a strong final session for New York-breds. OBS reported sales on 21 of the 25 through the ring for a total of $2,986,000, an average price of $142,190 and median of $65,000.

Overall, 52 of the 63 New York-breds offered sold for $5,651,000, an average price of $108,673 and median of $52,500.

The final session also saw the sale’s top-priced juvenile by a New York-based sire in Hip 584, a daughter of Honest Mischief purchased by Joseph DiRico for $425,000.

Bred by Sequel Stallions New York LLC and consigned by Sequel Bloodstock, the filly out of the winning Street Boss mare Sugar Boss breezed in :9.4 during presale workouts. She’s a half-sister to four winners, including stakes-placed El Hefe, $119,551-earner Sweet Sugar Baby and $74,450-earner Stolen Future.

Honest Mischief, a stakes-winning 9-year-old son of Into Mischief, stands for $7,500 at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson. He topped last year’s New York freshman and juvenile sire lists.

Hip 596, a son of Cairo Prince and half-brother to last Saturday’s Gander Stakes winner Soontobeking, landed the session’s top price for a New York-bred colt at $250,000 from Jeff Bloom, agent for BBSP Trust. Consigned by Steven Venosa’s S G V Thoroughbreds, agent, the colt out of the winning Freud mare Swayed breezed an eighth in :10 during presale workouts.

Bred by Our Blue Streaks Stable and S G V Thoroughbreds – who also bred and race Soontobeking – the colt is the second foal out of Swayed. Soontobeking improved to 3-2-4 with $323,428 from 11 starts in the Gander.
