Hip 33, a colt by Tapit out of Artemis Agrotera, who was consigned by Sequel Bloodstock for breeders Chester and Mary Broman

A beautiful Tapit colt produced from the multiple grade 1 winner Artemis Agrotera was purchased by a group of prominent buyers for $2 million during the March 12 first session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales March 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale.

Consigned as Hip 33 by Sequel Bloodstock as agent for New York breeders Chester and Mary Broman, the gray or roan colt was purchased by a group consisting of West Point Thoroughbreds, Rob Masiello, and Siena Farm, with the Bromans going to stay in as a partner also.

The colt is the first foal out Artemis Agrotera, who won three graded stakes including the Frizette Stakes (G1) and Ballerina Stakes (G1) for the Bromans. During the sale's under tack show, the colt worked in :10.1.
