A Fancy Face Tops Strong Blooded Horse Fall Sale at $88,000
The 73rd Annual Fall Blooded Horse Sale held November 17-18, at the Champions Center in Springfield, Ohio,
was terrific in spite of the pandemic. Virtual live bidding via Proxi-bid bolstered the already strong on site attendance. An abundance of two and three year olds fresh from the Midwestern stakes programs along with
122 yearlings and dozens of in foal mares provided attractive restocking opportunities for the eager crowd. The three-year-old Ohio Sires Stakes winning filly A Fancy Face was indeed fancy topping the sale at $88,000. Consigned by Burke Racing Stable LLC, the $200,000 winning daughter of My MVP was purchased by Greg
Luther of Ohio. Runner-up was the talented Indiana Sires Stakes placed Skyway Victor selling to Engle Stables and Jerry Graham of Illinois for $65,000. The Tellitlikeitis two-year-old winner of nearly $50,000 was consigned
by Simmons Stable, agent.
Trotters are always in high demand, and J. L. Adams of Pennsylvania signed the ticket for a couple of real nice ones. First he picked off the seven time winning four-year-old son of Guccio, Buck Dancer, for $41,000 and followed that with the Buckeye Stallion Series champion Muskingum by Triumphant Caviar for $28,000. A pair of Ohio Sires Stakes placed three-year-old Pet Rocks, Rock Smart and Mr D’s Rock, were hot items. Rock Smart, consigned by Burke Racing Stable LLC, went to Ken Weckstein of Maryland for $36,000 and Mr D’s Rock, consigned by Tammy Carter, was purchased by Ervin Miller of Florida for $26,000. The yearling session Tuesday morning opened with the highly anticipated Claridge Hall from the last crop of Cash Hall.
