Hip 920 at the Keeneland September Sale was the highest-priced MASTERY yearling sold, fetching $510,000 from buyer Maverick Racing. The colt, consigned by agent Indian Creek, is out of the Indian Charlie mare Chuckling – a half-sister to the dam of the sensational multiple Grade 1 winner Guarana, and also a daughter of Breeders’ Cup champ Pleasant Home.
JCM went to $450,000 for hip 413 at the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase, a son of MASTERY out of the Tiznow mare Texas Gem. The colt was consigned by Eaton Sales, Agent, and bred in Kentucky by LNJ Foxwoods, SB Racing Corp, Anglo-American Thoroughbreds, et al.
The hammer dropped at $400,000 for hip 350 at the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase, a bay filly out of Shared Account (Pleasantly Perfect), who herself is a G1 winner and earner of over $1.6 million. This daughter of MASTERY is a half-sister to the 2019 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G2) Champion Sharing (Speightstown), who is now a millionaire after winning the Edgewood Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs on the Kentucky Oaks undercard. The filly was bred and consigned by Sam-Son Farms (KY), and purchased by John McComack Bloodstock.
