Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency as agent, the filly, out of Dontstealmyroses a Storm Cat half-sister to the dam of three-time Grade One stakes winner Behrens, was purchased by bloodstock agent Buzz Chace for $320,000.
Real Quiet has received a resounding vote of confidence at the sales. On Wednesday David Plummer bought a filly by Real Quiet out of multiple stakes winner Morris Code for $450,000, which was the equal highest price of the session for a filly. Plummer, a Nevada resident and owner of Classic Star Farm near Versailles, will add the filly to his racing stable, which numbers 30 runners.
“I saw her dam run and I own her first foal, Plum Good Day,” he said. “I’m looking for fillies
One of the best racehorses to ever stand in Australia Real Quiet won 5-times at Grade 1 level including the 1998 Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes
Wednesday’s top seller came when Coolmore purchased a $1.1 million Hennessy colt out of the unraced Alydar mare Altair.
Signing the ticket for Coolmore was Aisling Cross who described the colt as “an absolutely beautiful horse. “We had a real fight on our hands. We’re lucky to get him.”
Jim FitzGerald, who with his partner James Keogh consigned the colt as agent for Sanford Robinson, said: “This is the best-looking Hennessy colt I’ve seen. Everyone on the grounds was on him. He was probably out of his stall 60 times a day and never turned a hair. He’s a wonderful athlete, and that’s what they’re buying these days, big, physical types. He has a lot of Alydar in him.”
FitzGerald said he thought the colt might bring in the neighbourhood of $500,000 and was elated with the final price. “It’s like fine art, when you get two big guys interested in the same piece.”
Through the fifth session of the 12-day auction, 1,115 horses have been sold for $165,137,500, an average of $142,976 and a median of $85,000. At this point one year ago 1,104 horses had been sold for $212,059,700, an average price of $192,083 and a median of $100,000.
