Glen Hill Farm buys top three sellers at Fasig-Tipton Six-figure offerings were more prominent at Tuesday's second session of the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearlings Sale at Newtown Paddocks near Lexington, Kentucky. Glen Hill Farm played a major role in that positive development, securing the session's top three offerings. Highest among these was a gray Tapit colt purchased for $150,000. Sporting Hip No. 556, the April 14 Kentucky-bred was offered by Equus Farm (Jerry Cummins/Paul Adams), agent. Produced from the multiple stakes-winning Frans Lass (Shanekite), the yearling is a half-brother to the multiple stakes-placed producer French Lass (French Deputy). Frans Lass herself is a full sister to stakes winners Shanes Lass and Irishkite and a half-sibling to the stakes-winning producer Unique Creek (Tricky Creek). The session's highest priced filly, SOLAR SPOTLIGHT (Indian Charlie), commanded a final bid of $135,000. The March 29 Kentucky-bred, wearing Hip 570, was consigned by Glenmalure LLC (Peter & Gina Kirwan), agent. Produced from Girl in Velvet (Afleet), the filly is a half-sister to the Grade 2-placed stakes winner Pretty Jane (Subordination). This is the family of 1959 champion older mare Tempted (*Half Crown) and Grade 1-winning producer Broom Dance (Dance Spell). Solar Spotlight RNA'd for $87,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July Yearling Sale. Glen Hill also went to $130,000 for a Kitten's Joy colt offered by Ramsey Farm, agent. The May 4 Kentucky-bred toured the ring as Hip 382. Produced from Cardinalli (Capote), the bay counts as his second dam the Grade 1-placed stakes winner Footing (Forty Niner).
