A 2-year-old colt from the first crop of Eclipse Champion Leroidesanimaux (Brz) made a splash during the second session of the Keeneland April Two-Year-Olds-In-Training Sale, selling for $210,000 after breezing an eighth of a mile in 10 seconds flat during the sale’s breeze show over the local Polytrack.
An attractive bay out of the Java Gold mare Java Drums, the speedy colt is a half to stakes winner Johnny Dollar. Selling as Hip No. 181, Mamoru Kato purchased the colt from the consignment of Scanlon Training Center.
A dozen hips later, a colt from the second-crop of sire-sensation Medaglia d’Oro brought a final bid of $215,000 from Frank Brothers acting as agent for Bruce Lunsford. The dark bay or brown colt, selling as Hip No. 193, is out of the Grade 1-winning Affirmed mare Mossflower.
Medaglia d’Oro opened the sale on Day 1 with Hip No. 10, a dark bay or brown filly, selling for $200,000 to Coteau Grove Farms, LLC.
