Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® Tabs Best Of Sale Pick, Record-Setting Sale Topper At Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale; Two Year Olds To Watch

©2018 Calvin L. Carter and Dallas Carter. All rights reserved.

Hip 588, a bay colt by Pioneerof the Nile out of Score by A.P. Indy, was purchased Sunday by Ed Anthony of Shortleaf Stable for a record-setting $600,000 at the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale.
The nice-looking son of Pioneerof the Nile, and our best of sale pick, has an A+ Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile®. Here’s a look at him in the auction ring:



“The horse is an incredible horse,” said consignor Jonathan Thorne in a TDN news story. He purchased the colt’s dam, Score, in utero at the 2016 Keeneland November Sale.
“He’s been a beautiful horse since he was born and he’s just gotten better and better. He’s a very intelligent and honest horse. …I think he’s got a great future, so I can’t wait to watch him.”
Last month at the Fasig-Tipton July sale, the Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® tabbed SILVERTONGUEDEVIL (Hip 348) as our best of sale pick and he was the $520,000 sale topper purchased by bloodstock agent David Ingordo for the Al Rashid Stable.
He has an A+ Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® and here’s a look at him in the sale ring:




“I think we got a pretty good buy, considering the pedigree, the looks, the breeder and what we knew about him. We were very happy,” said Ingordo in a TDN news story. …“I had seen this colt going around with the Lane’s End team on their inspections, so I knew a lot about him.” “He was well raised. This is as good a colt as we are going to see this year.”
 In 2016 we debuted the Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® as a sales analytical tool at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Our software tabbed GOOD MAGIC (Hip 845) as our best of sale pick and he was the $1 million dollar session four sales topper purchased by bloodstock agent Mike Ryan for E5 Racing.
 Good Magic has an A Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® and here’s a look at him in the auction ring:


“He’s as good a Curlin as you’ll see,” said Ryan in a Bloodhorse news story. “Curlin is Curlin. In my mind he’s as good as Tapit.”
        Since that sale, Good Magic was selected as the Eclipse Champion Two Year Old Colt and he’s won the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Stakes (G1), Toyota Bluegrass Stakes (G2) and Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1). He finished second in the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Champagne Stakes (G1) and third in the Xpressbet Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2).
       In addition, we now have a total of 13 horses from the debut of that 2016 sales list that are winners or placers in graded stakes and stakes races:

Graded Stakes Winners - VINO ROSSO (Hip 528), winner of the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2)FREE DROP BILLY (Hip 104), winner of the Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity Stakes (G1), Matt Winn Stakes (G3) winner KING ZACHARY (Hip 956) and Grey Stakes (G3) winner ARCHAGGELOS (Hip 2138).
Multiple Graded Stakes Placers - SOLOMINI (Hip 662) and HOLLYWOOD STAR (Hip 395). Graded stakes-placed colts are MISSISSIPPI (Hip 888) and COAT OF ARMS (IRE), (Hip 446), a Group-placed colt in Ireland.
GUNNISON (Hip 474) is a stakes winner and WENTZ (Hip 1029) is a multiple stakes-placed colt. Other stakes-placed colts from our sales list are: STRONGER (Hip 4154) and TIGERBEACH (Hip 2001).

From foal to finish line™ the Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile® software continues to show its prowess as a powerful sales analytical tool and it can help you zero in on horses at auction that have the potential be equine champions.

Two Year Olds To Watch


Last Fall, my schedule kept me so busy that I did not have the time to blog about the yearlings I liked at the 2017 sales. So, with about a month to go before Churchill Downs kicks off the prep races on the trail to the 2019 Kentucky Derby, this looks like a good place to list them. The primary listing are yearlings from the 2017 Keeneland September sale but I have also noted a few other horses from other sales.
