Flurry of Activity Sees Into Mischief Colt Sell For $3 Million, Gun Runner Offspring Make $2.9 Million and $2.6 Million

[Wandering Eyes]

The activity in the Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion reached a fever pitch nearing the 9 p.m. hour on the East Coast, with three horses selling in rapid succession, each crossing the $2.5-million threshold at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale.

The crown jewel in the sequence was hip 178, a colt by Into Mischief–Lady Kate (Bernardini), that was hammered down to John Stewart's Resolute Bloodstock for $3 million. Bred on the same cross as dual Classic winner Sovereignty, the bay colt is out of a stakes-winning and Grade I-placed daughter of Grade II winner Princess Haya (Street Cry {Ire}). Hip 178 was bred by Barbara Banke's Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings and was consigned by Gainesway, Agent for Stonestreet Bred For Brilliance.

Hip 175, a daughter of the red-hot Gun Runner out of two-time Grade I-winning 'TDN Rising Star' Paradise Woods (Union Rags), equaled the price of the Into Mischief–I'm A Chatterbox colt 12 hips prior when selling to Love/Linton, agents for Boyd Racing for $2.6 million. A Feb. 8 foal, the bay was consigned by Lane's End as agent for Tranquility Lake Farms and was bred by Pam and the late Marty Wygod and Oliver and Emily Bushnell.

The Gun Runner show rolled on just minutes later when a half-brother (hip 179) to Grade II-winning 'TDN Rising Star' Muhimma (Munnings) was hammered down to Donato Lanni, agent for Amr Zedan's Zedan Racing, for $2.9 million. A daughter of SW & GISP Princesa Carolina (Tapit), the gray is a maternal grandson of the excellent two-time Grade I scorer Pure Clan (Pure Prize). Bred by Three Chimneys Farm, hip 179 was consigned by Four Star Sales.

John Oxley and West Point Thoroughbreds also jumped into the fray when going to $1.8 million for a colt from the first crop of Flightline. Consigned by Lane's End on behalf of Flightline breeder and co-owner Summer Wind Equine, hip 176 is a March-foaled son of the stakes-winning and GSP Park Avenue (Quality Road) and hails from a deep Peter Blum family.
