Out of the multiple Argentinean Group 3-placed Wandel (Arg) (Fitzcarraldo), the Kentucky-bred filly is a half-sister to 2004 Argentinean champion three-year-old filly Salt Champ (Arg) (Salt Lake), who captured the 2005 Santa Monica H. (G1) in her lone U.S. start. The youngster was sold by Harris Training Center, agent, and worked an eighth in :10 3/5 at the Under Tack Show. HITTHEJACKPOT (Grand Reward), a Kentucky-bred bay filly who sold as Hip 87, commanded a $70,000 sales price from Frank Fletcher Racing.
