Telemon Stud had purchased O'Rachael off Segenhoe Stud for $260,000 at the  2021 Inglis Chairman's Sale.

O'Rachael’s Bivouac colt was a $260,000 buy for Suman Hedge Bloodstock (FBAA)/Riverstone Lodge from the Telemon Thoroughbreds draft at the 2023 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale before failing to meet his reserve at the 2024 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
