Hip 987, a colt by Curlin, brought $850,000
Nearing the halfway point of the Sept. 14 session of the Keeneland September yearling sale, a Curlin colt garnered the top price of the day to that point when he was purchased by Ken McPeek for Fern Circle for $850,000.
Consigned by Clarkland Farm, the Curlin—Allude, by Orientate colt is a half brother to stakes winners Imply and Dancinginthecircle. The colt is from the family of Horse of the Year Holy Bull.
The sale added to a strong day for Curlin, who, through that point in the sale, had seven yearlings sell for $3.16 million.
Just before the Curlin colt entered the ring, John Oxley went to $800,000 to land a Pioneerof the Nile filly.
The filly, offered as Hip 986 and consigned by Blandford Stud (Padraig Campion) agent, is out of a half sister to multiple grade 1 winners Paulassilverlining and Dads Caps.
