ROBERT MARZILLI is hoping his Ontario-bred Speightstown colt from multiple graded stakes winner Code Warrior (Society’s Chairman) is a big ticket yearling Monday night at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale. It is the 100th Saratoga sale.
Marzilli has expanded his racing and breeding program in the years since his filly CAREN was named Canadian Horse of the Year in 2016.
He purchased Code Warrior as a broodmare prospect in 2017 for $190,000 and this Speightstown colt is her first foal. Marzilli offered the colt at auction as a weanling but bought him back for $175,000. The colt is hip no. 64 in the first session of the two-evening sale.
