CITY AT PEACE, a bay filly by Include, topped the first session of the Fasig-Tipton
Texas Summer Yearlings Sale at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas, on Monday
when selling to Dapple Bloodstock for $140,000. Consigned by Elysian Bloodstock,
agent, as Hip No. 67, the February 9 miss is out of the Carson City mare City
Hideaway, making the yearling a half-sister to the winning stakes-placed gelding Robbeau (Valid Expectations). The Louisiana-bred’s third dam is French
classic winner Lacovia (Majestic Light), who produced 2000 Dewhurst S. (Eng-G1) victor
and European two-year-old champion Tobougg (Ire) (Barathea [Ire]).
The second highest price occurred when DSB
Stable, agent, acquired Hip 13, a chestnut colt by Red Bullet, for $77,000.
Consigned by Tonya Jurgens, agent, the April 30 colt is out of Annie Bananie (Farma
Way), a half-sister to 1990 Fountain of Youth S. (G2) winner and $999,275-earner
Shot Gun Scott (Exuberant), Grade 3 heroine Shot Gun Bonnie (It’s Freezing), and
stakes winner Shotgun Harry J. (Exuberant). The
Louisiana-bred was purchased for $12,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s
OBS January Winter Mixed Sale.
