Coolmore's M.V. Magnier struck Sept. 14 for a son of Curlin   consigned as Hip 333 to the second day of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, spending $1.3 million to bring the standout colt home.

Offered by Gainesway on behalf of Stonestreet Bred & Raised, the colt was bred in Kentucky out of the stakes-winning Medaglia d'Oro   mare Dashing Debby , and is from the family of the twice grade 1-placed listed stakes winner Dawn the Destroyer .

"Brian Graves (of Gainesway), when we went down to see him first, really really liked the horse. All our guys liked him as well," Magnier reported. "(Stonestreet owner) Barbara Banke, she's bred some incredible horses over the last couple years. Curlin's doing very well." 

Magnier said the colt will remain in America.
