When a young horse tops a yearling sale, there is always the hope that the horse has the talent to match his price tag. The 2022 sale topper at the Canadian Premier Yearling Sale, a steel grey son of Cairo Prince – Hopping Not Hoping by Silent Name (Jpn) brought a bid of $115,000 from agent Dr. Robert McMartin, buying the colt for Gary Barber.
Christened MY BOY PRINCE, the colt could well be a bargain at that hefty price.
Trained by Mark Casse and ridden by Sahin Civaci, My Boy Prince rolled to a jaw-dropping, 14-length victory in the $201,500 Simcoe Stakes for yearling sale graduates. His share of the purse was $120,000 (CAN).
