Hip 490 sold for $335,000
Trainer Linda Rice continued her bullish buying at the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred preferred yearling sale Aug. 14, this time taking down a Mineshaft colt who is a half brother to millionaire Upstart for $335,000.
Consigned as Hip 490 by Frances and Barbara Vanlangendonck’s Summerfield, as agent, the March 11 foal was produced from the unraced Touch Gold mare Party Silks.
The colt was bred by Mrs. Gerald A. Nielsen.
Earlier in the session, Rice purchased a City Zip colt for $375,000.
