A chestnut colt by Graeme Hall saw a winning bid of $95,000 from Leighton

Brooke Racing to top Sunday's session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Consigned as Hip No. 4748 by Gainesway, agent, the Florida-bred colt is out of

the winning Divine Rockette (Is It True), who is a half-sister to Rudolfina

(Pleasant Colony) and Calamitous Jen (Deputy Minister). The former has herself

produced multiple highweight mare Royal Fantasy (Monsun), while Calamitous Jen

is the granddam of Grade 3 winner and Grade 1-placed E Z Warrior (Exploit) as

well as Grade 3-placed stakes victress J Z Warrior (Harlan's Holiday).

Hip 4830, SKIPSHOT (Skip Away), sold for the second highest price of $62,000

to Garry Simms, agent for Burr Travis. The chestnut colt is out of multiple

stakes winner Heavenly Note (Sunny's Halo), and claims Canadian Grade 3 winner

Skip Code as a full brother and the winning Lightfoot Lane (Phone Trick) as a

half-sister. Lightfoot Lane is herself the dam of Grade 3-placed stakes winner

Shopton Lane (Quiet American).

Bringing the third highest price on the day, and the top price for a filly,

was Hip 4525. The bay lass by Mizzen Mast sold to River Dyna for $57,000 and

came from the consignment of Beau Lane Bloodstock, agent for Honeysuckle Farm. The Kentucky-bred lass is out of the Silver Deputy mare Oops, herself a

daughter of 1980 Del Mar Oaks (G2) winner Movin' Money (Dr. Fager) and a

half-sister to the dam of Italian highweight Beat of Drums (Warning [GB]). Movin'

Money counts among her half-siblings multiple Grade 1-placed stakes winner

Mochila (In Reality) and, most notably, champion and top sire Cozzene (Caro

[Ire]). This is also the family of 1992 Ballerina S. (G1) winner Serape

(Fappiano).
