Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 15 Journalists Posted July 15 Midnight Bisou, who topped the Keeneland November Sale of 2022 when sold for $5.5 million to Katsumi Yoshida, is likely now to have a sale-topper of her own following the appearance of her foal from the first crop of Equinox in the ring at the JRHA Select Sale. Offered as lot 344 from Northern Farm, the colt equalled the second-highest price ever paid for a foal at JRHA when fetching ¥580m ($3.91/€ 3.36m) just two hours into the sale. He was bought by Nebraska Racing, who also bought Monday's sale-topping Kitasan Black yearling. The record price for a foal was set in 2006 when a filly by King Kamehameha out of To The Victory was sold for ¥600m ($4m). There are plenty of youngsters yet to sell through Tuesday's foal session, but it is unlikely that any will surpass that mark. Midnight Bisou, a 10-year-old daughter of Midnight Lute, won the Santa Anita Oaks among her five Grade I victories on the dirt. Other highlights through the early stages of the day's trade at the Northern Horse Park include the first of the Equinox foals to go through the ring, a colt out of the French Group 3 winner Camprock (Myboycharlie), who was sold for ¥230m ($1.55m/€1.33m) to Makoto Kaneko. A Frankel colt out of Sauterne (Kingman), from the family of Frankel's first top-level winner Soul Stirring, was sold by Grand Stud for ¥300m ($2.03m/€1.74m) to Masahiro Noda of Danox Ltd. A full report of the final session of the JRHA Select Sale will be available later today.
