Craig and Holly Bandoroff's Denali Stud, which topped the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale with a daughter of Medaglia d'Oro sold for $1.45 million, has a solid consignment to the New York-bred sale.
Among the Denali offerings on the Aug. 14 second night of the auction is a Candy Ride colt consigned on behalf of breeder Edition Farm. Hip 575, the colt is a half brother to grade II-placed Skinner Box. His dam, the winning Indian Charlie mare Talkin Indian, is a half sister to five-time grade I winner and $4.19 million earner Better Talk Now.
Consigned by Lane’s End as agent, Hip 477 is a Union Rags colt out of Nice Boots Baby, a daughter of Storm Boot who was a stakes winner at Aqueduct Racetrack and produced Orinoquia, winner of the Leave Me Alone Stakes who ran third in the Princess Rooney (gr. I). Breeder Jerry Bilinski purchased Nice Boots Baby for $40,000 from Katierich Farm at the 2014 Keeneland November sale while she was carrying the Union Rags colt.
Hip 497, a City Zip filly bred by Anthony Grey, is a half sister to three stakes-placed horses, including grade III-placed Jung Man Scott. She was produced from the winning Talkin Man mare Plinking, a half sister to four stakes winners, including grade III winner Wishful Tomcat. Plinking is also a half sister to the dam of recent Carry Back Stakes (gr. III) winner Rated R Superstar. She is consigned by RF HF Bloodstock, agent.
Hip 509, a Gemologist colt from the Taylor Made Sales Agency offerings, is the first foal from the unraced Stormy Atlantic mare Red Menace, a half sister to four-time stakes winner and $693,500-earner Saratoga Snacks. The colt born Feb. 3 of last year is from the extended female family of Monmouth Oaks (gr. I) winner Without Feathers.
The first foal from the unraced Broken Vow mare Treasured Vow, Hip 587 is a Mineshaft filly consigned by Darby Dan Farm, agent for breeder Wellspring Stables. Treasured Vow is a half sister to three winners of New York-bred stakes and to two stakes-placed in restricted company. The female family traces to Will’s Way, Willa On the Move, and Tizway, among other solid blacktype campaigners.
