Fasig-Tipton's October sale of yearlings begins at 10 a.m. EDT Oct. 24 in Lexington Fasig-Tipton PhotoMalibu Moon Filly Tops F-T Pinhook Prospects
by Ron Mitchell @BH_RMitchell
Produced from the stakes-winning More Than Ready mare In the Slips, the filly consigned by Eaton Sales as Hip 11, was purchased at last year's Keeneland November sale for $220,000 by trainer Gary Contessa on behalf of a client for the purpose of reselling her as a yearling. The filly was bred in Kentucky by her Keeneland consignor, Hunter Valley Farm, and Beechwood Farming.
"She is a lovely filly," said Eaton's Reiley McDonald. "She would have brought between $400,000-$600,000 had she gone to Saratoga."
The second highest-priced pinhook prospect at Fasig-Tipton is a Bodemeister colt consigned by Hidden Brook as Hip 141 purchased by McMahon & Hill Bloodstock for $170,000 when offered by Brookdale Sales at Keeneland November. The colt is out of theStevie Wonderboy mare Made to Love Her, winner of the Moccasin Stakes and runner-up in the grade II Santa Ynez.
A Pioneerof the Nile colt consigned as Hip 926 by Betz Thoroughbreds, as agent is the third-highest-priced October pinhook. The colt, a half brother to two stakes winners and from the family of multiple group I winner and sire Agnes World, was bought by Clear Ridge Stables for $145,000 at Keeneland November when consigned by Four Star Sales.
Another Pioneerof the Nile colt, Hip 808, was a $140,000 purchase by Kings Landing Purchases from the Chilly Bleak Farm group as a short yearling at this year's Keeneland January sale. Consigned by Paramount Sales, the colt is from the female family of grade I winners Bellamy Road and Gold Fever.
A colt by The Factor and a Liaison filly, each purchased for $110,000, round out the list of top October pinhook prospects. Consigned by Dromoland Farm as Hip 297, the colt, produced from a half sister to grade II winner and stakes producer Dream About, was bought by Targosyen Equine in January.
The Liaison filly, Hip 716, was purchased by Preston Stable and Prestonwood Racing from the Four Star Sales consignment at last year's Keeneland November sale. She is from the family of multiple grade I winner Videogenic.
As the last of the nine yearling-only sales in North America this year, the October sale is the final opportunity for breeders or pinhookers to either sell, face the prospect of incurring additional overhead costs by waiting until next year's juvenile auctions, or send them to race.
The most expensive RNA in the catalog is Hip 942, a son of Tapit out of the grade III-winning Cherokee Run mare Cherokee Queen, an 11-race winner who earned $628,312 and the dam of stakes-placed Entertainer. The chestnut colt is consigned by South Point Sales Agency, agent, which also had him in this year's Saratoga sale when he was bought back on a final bid of $500,000.

Dream Ahead’s Al Wukair Remains Perfect With Isonomy Triumph
| 4th at DVL, Lst Stk, €65,000 | Listed Prix Isonomy | (8f) | Winner: Al Wukair (Ire), c, 2 by Dream Ahead |
Al Wukair recovered from a sluggish start to prevail in impressive fashion going seven furlongs at Saint-Cloud on debut in his only prior start Sept. 30, and provided conditioner Andre Fabre with a record-equalling fourth renewal of this contest won last year by hitherto unbeaten G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix de Diane heroine La Cressonniere (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). The bay was slow from the gate once more here, but raced in touch under a taut rein at the back of the pack. Tanking into third on the home turn, he joined the leaders full of run just inside the two pole and quickened smartly for one flick of the whip inside the final eighth to easily register a first black-type success.
The 200,000gns TAOCT yearling is half to the dual stakes-placed Witches Brew (Ire) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}), a yearling colt by Dream Ahead and a filly foal by Charm Spirit (Ire). They are out of a winning daughter of European highweight distaffer and G1 Prix de Diane victress Caerlina (Ire) (Caerleon), whose three black-type performers include G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas third La Nuit Rose (Fr) (Rainbow Quest), who in turn produced GII Kelso H. victor Tam Lin (GB) (Selkirk) and Listed Derby de l’Ouest scorer Blue Rambler (GB) (Monsun {Ger}). Other descendants of Caerlina are headed by MSW GII West Virginia Derby runner-up Souper Colossal (War Front), MG1SP G2 Kinko Sho winner Current Mirotic (Jpn) (Heart’s Cry {Jpn}) and his G1SP G3 Kyoto Himba S.-winning half-sister Hikaru Amaranthus (Jpn) (Agnes Tachyon {Jpn}).
