Speedy Ghostzapper Filly Sells for $600,000

A speedy Ghostzapper  filly consigned as Hip 914 with a timely pedigree update lit up the Ocala Breeders' Sales June 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale bid board June 14, going for $600,000 to the account of Stetson Racing.

Cataloged as Hip 914 as part of the Gayle Woods consignment, the filly zipped three-eighths of a mile in :32 3/5, fastest of the final under tack show session and co-fastest at the distance over the five days of workouts.

Woods consigned her on behalf of a new client, Eric A. Delvalle, who purchased the filly foaled May 6, 2017, for $67,000 from Lane's End, agent, at last year's Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Produced from the grade 2-winning Tiznow  mare Tizahit, the filly bred in Kentucky by Blue Devil Racing Stable is a half sister to Come Dancing, winner of the Ruffian Stakes (G2) who finished second to Midnight Bisou in the June 8 Ogden Phipps Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park.

"She has always been a classy filly to be around," Woods said. "We were going to an earlier sale, but I wanted to wait for June because she was a May baby. I said, 'I think this filly is going to be way better in June.'"
