Graded-Placed Sophomore Fillies Added to Keeneland HORA Sale

[Wandering Eyes]

A pair of 3-year-old fillies, each graded stakes placed in their careers to date, have been supplemented to the Horses of Racing Age section of next Tuesday’s Keeneland April Sale.

A total of 91 horses of racing age have been cataloged for the single-session, including its newest additions Sweet Diane (Will Take Charge) and Splashy Kisses (Blame). Consigned by ELiTE, agent, Sweet Diane won her maiden at second asking by nearly 14 lengths and was placed in the Dec. 8 Hut Hut S. at Gulfstream and in the Suncoast S. at Tampa Feb. 9. The bay, a $130,000 Keeneland September graduate, was most recently a good third in the GII Fair Grounds Oaks Mar. 23. Sweet Diane is out of a half-sister to GSW & GISP Take the Ribbon (Chester House) and MSW & GSP Glinda the Good (Hard Spun), the dam of champion Good Magic (Curlin).

Splashy Kisses graduated at Del Mar second time out last August and followed with a runner-up effort behind Serengeti Empress (Alternation) in the GII Pocahontas S. the following month. The dark bay has placed in two of her three starts this season, including a third in the GIII Sweet Life S. at Santa Anita. Splashy Kisses is being consigned by Claiborne Farm, agent. Splashy Kisses’s third dam was French MGSW and US MGISP Colour Chart (Mr. Prospector), dam of Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old filly Tempera (A.P. Indy).
