$1.2million Inglis Easter purchase Dakota Vroom.

Bred by Dorrington Farm’s Robert Crabtree, who also raced her mother Catchy, Dakota Vroom was snapped up by Waller Racing/ Hermitage Thoroughbreds for $1.2million from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft at Inglis Easter.

She is the first foal from Fastnet Rock’s $1.9million earner Catchy, whose second foal is promising Zoustar three year-old filly Floozie, who was retained and is a winner for the Price and Kent training partnership.

Catchy has a two year-old filly by Too Darn Hot (GB) that sold last year for $550,000 at Inglis Easter to Anthony Cummings and is named Catonahotinroof. After missing to Extreme Choice the following year, she produced a filly by Champion European 2YO Colt Pinatubo (IRE) last year and is now in foal to Blue Point (IRE).
