Halmstad breaks his maiden at Keeneland

Keeneland has added three horses, including recent Fall Meet winner Halmstad , to its Horses of Racing Age Sale Nov. 17. A total of 303 horses have been cataloged for the single-session auction, which will begin at noon ET.

Halmstad, a 3-year-old gelding by Nyquist  , scored a 3 3/4-length maiden special weight victory at Keeneland Oct. 27 in his third lifetime start. He ran 6 furlongs on dirt in 1:10.04, covering the final furlong in :11.93 to earn a 100 Equibase Speed Figure. 

Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, Halmstad is a half brother to stakes winner Spycraft  and is out of Sugarcraft, by Bernardini. Sugarcraft, who is out of grade 1 winner Sugar Shake , is a half sister to graded stakes performer Shook Up , dam of stakes winner King Ottoman  from two foals to race.

The other supplements are:

  • Gordon Gekko , a 2-year-old colt by Quality Road   who finished fourth in his lone start. He is the first foal out of Chilean Horse of the Year and millionaire Wow Cat , a daughter of Lookin At Lucky   and second in the 2018 Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1). Gordon Gekko is consigned by ELiTE.
  • Luna Patina, a 2-year-old filly by Malibu Moon out of grade 3 winner Solo Survivor , by Pleasant Tap. A half sister to stakes winner and grade 3-placed Hip Hop N Jazz  and stakes-placed Strive , she is from the family of grade 1 winner Nastique and grade 2 winner Transient Trend. Luna Patina is consigned by Buck Pond Farm (Douglas S. Arnold).

Additional supplements will be considered until the day of the sale.
