Godolphin Makes First Saratoga Purchase, Give $1M For Justify Colt

[Wandering Eyes]

Sheikh Mohammaned bin Rashid al Maktoum's Godolphin signed for its first horse at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale approaching the midway point of Tuesday's second session, going to an even $1 million for a colt by Justify. Hip 174 was bred by Don Alberto Corporation and the Justify syndicate and is out of Dolce Lemone (Lemon Drop Kid), whose stakes-winning daughter Dolce Lili (Scat Daddy) was represented by a City of Light filly purchased by Centennial Farms for $500,000 during Monday's opening session at Saratoga. Dolce Lemone is herself a half-sister to Canadian Broodmare of the Year Noble Strike (Smart Strike), the dam of champion and Queen's Plate winner Inglorious (Hennessy) and GSW and Prince of Wales Stakes winned Dixie Strike (Dixie Union). Hip 174 was consigned by Hunter Valley Farm, agent.
