Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 14 Journalists Posted September 14 A Not This Time half-brother (hip 61) to GISW and 'TDN Rising Star' Faiza (Girvin) hit $1.5 million on a final bid to Robert and Lawana Low. Bred in Kentucky by the Estate of Brereton C. Jones and offered Monday by consignor Airdrie Stud Raised and Offered, the colt is out of the Smart Strike mare Sweet Pistol, herself a half to MGSW Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile). Faiza sold Godolphin's way as a broodmare for $4-million at the 2023 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. “The stallion needs no introduction,” said bloodstock agent Jacob West. “He's one of the best stallions we have here in America, arguably in the world. The cross has worked in the past. He was a big, beautiful horse that looked like he handled the whole stresses of the sale well. He comes from an incredible breeder, Airdrie Stud. You have a lot of confidence going in and buying off of those guys. Mr. and Mrs. Low, they were in love with him when I took them over there and showed them to them. And we just got lucky and we had to stretch a little bit, but you always stretch for the good ones.” The post ‘A Big, Beautiful Horse From An Incredible Breeder’: Not This Time Colt Brings $1.5 Million appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
