Hip 351, a filly by War Front, brings $1 million
The seven-figure purchases continued late into the Sept. 10 second session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale as Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Estate Company went to $1 million for a War Front filly.
Consigned as Hip 351 by Gainesway, the filly bred in Kentucky by International Equities Holding was produced from Delightful Joy, a daughter of Tapit who won the Monmouth oaks (G3). The filly's second dam is grade 3 winnerGraeme Six, a grade 3 winner who has also produced grade 3 winner Cali Star.
International Equities Holding purchased Delightful Joy for $700,000 from Denali Stud, agent, at the 2017 Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale.
