Reigning champion sire in Hong Kong, Deep Field is setting the pace at the Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale on Tuesday with a colt offered by Nolen Racing selling for $550,000 to Anton Koolman Bloodstock after producing the fastest breeze up gallop of the sale.
First offered as a weanling at the 2021 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale where he made $90,000 for Glastonbury Farm when bought by Hopetoun Lodge Pty Ltd, the colt from Alderney was then re-offered at Inglis Premier where he caught the eye of Tal Nolen, who secured him for $120,000.
He is a half-brother to smart mare Riduna, who gained Black Type since the catalogue went to print with a second placing in the Group III Tibbie Stakes at Newcastle and has a quality Black Type family featuring stakes-winners Ballet Suite and Casquets.
Pedigree aside, the colt showed in his pre-sale breeze up gallop that he can certainly run with a flying 200m sectional of 10.10 seconds recorded at Seymour the fastest breeze up of the sale.
