The last yearlings bred by legendary Canadian farm Sam-Son sold at the recently completed Fasig-Tipton October sale.
A colt by Street Sense sold for a sale record $925,000 to West Bloodstock, agent for Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable. The price matched that paid for a Storm Cat filly at the 1999 edition of the sale and set a new highwater mark for a colt in the sale’s history. Offered as Hip 1107 by Sam-Son, the bay colt is out of the winning A.P. Indy mare Dance With Doves, whose four winners to date including Grade 2 winner Dance Again (Awesome Again) and graded stakes placed Swoop and Strike (Smart Strike). The colt’s second dam is champion three-year-old filly Dancethruthedawn, a Grade 1 winner in the United States and winner of the prestigious Queen’s Plate S. in Canada. His third dam is 2003 Hall of Fame inductee Dance Smartly, whose list of accomplishments include: Sovereign Horse of the Year, Sovereign Champion Three-Year-Old Filly, Eclipse Champion Three-Year-Old Filly, Sovereign Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) Champion, and Canadian Broodmare of the Year. This exceptional family includes two-time Leading Sire Smart Strike, champion Say the Word, and Grade 1 winners Moreno and Full of Wonder.
“Honestly, the sales topper’s a little bittersweet,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “(Sam-Son has) had a wonderful program. They’ve (brought) wonderful horses to us here in October. Tom Zweisler and Dave Whitford are true professionals in every sense of the word… It was a great tribute to them and to the Samuel family to set the record here in October.”
Zweisler told Thoroughbred Daily News, “It’s a little melancholy. Our last yearling just went through. But we are very happy. It’s a testament to the Samuel-Balaz family that have bred these horses. And of course, you have people stepping up to the plate and spending this money on these horses. That’s wonderful to see. St Elias and Repole stepped up and bought two of our best. We wish them all the luck in the world.”
A colt from the first crop of Triple Crown hero Justify out of Back to Love (Street Cry-IRE), sold for $450,000 to John Fahey, agent, from the consignment of Hunter Valley Farm, agent. The bay colt is out of a half-sister to the graded stakes winner Necessary Evil and to the dam of group stakes winner Sergei Prokofiev, and hails from the immediate family of multiple Grade 1 winner Over All. Hip 893 was bred in Ontario by Peter A. Berglar Racing Interests LLC and Anderson Farms.
CRAIG CAMERON sold a Mucho Macho Man-Jester Jazz colt through agent SUE FOREMAN for $220,000 to Grade One Bloodstock.
A dozen of the Canadian-breds were purchased by Canadian owners and trainers including Mike DePaulo, Michael Lay, Sue Leslie, Ted Holder and Catherine Day Phillips.
