Dam of $775,000 Weanling in Foal to Capitalist

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 8

The top-priced weanling during the opening session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale was a daughter of Tapit out of Grade 1 winner My Conquestadory that sold for $775,000 to Baccari Bloodstock.

"Very, very nice filly, huge pedigree," Chris Baccari of Baccari Bloodstock said. "She looked like the kind of filly that could develop into anything – really strong, and with her mother having the race record that she did, and being by Tapit.

"I just try to surround myself with the best horses I can possibly get, so she happened to be one that we landed on today. I thought she'd be anywhere from $700,000 to $1 million. I'll offer her again for resale, and if not we'll race her."

The filly was offered by Bedouin Bloodstock on behalf of a partnership involving Newgate Farm, SF Bloodstock and Matthew Sandblom.

"We are very pleased with the price," Bedouin Bloodstock's Neal Clarke said.

"She is a beautiful filly. She is a young filly, a late foal, so we were a little worried bringing her in here but she showed beautifully and walked beautifully. She is correct and classy."

Newgate Farm, SF Bloodstock and Matthew Sandblom purchased the dam of the filly, My Conquestadory for $1.5 million at this sale last year and shipped the Group I winning daughter of Artie Schiller back to Australia after she produced this filly.

She is now at Newgate Farm and is in foal to Newgate's Golden Slipper winner Capitalist.
