A daughter of Collected sold for $150,000 and a filly by New York-based sire Bustin Stones brought $75,000 to highlight the final day of the OBS June sale of 2-year-olds in training and horses of racing age Thursday in Ocala.

Hip 1046[2], the filly by Collected out of the Union Rags mare Kathy’s Chance, was purchased by Hall of Fame football coach Bill Parcells’ August Dawn Farm to lead the way in the session for New York-breds and also equaled the highest price for a New York-bred over the three-day auction. Consigned by Centofanti Thoroughbreds, agent, the filly breezed an eighth in :10 during presale workouts.

Bred by Eaton & Thorne, Inc., the filly is the third foal out of Kathy’s Chance. Jonathan Thorne’s Thorndale Farm purchased Kathy’s Chance carrying the Collected filly in utero for $57,000 at the 2019 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. Centofanti Thoroughbreds purchased the filly for $30,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale.

The $150,000 hammer price equaled that paid by Clay Scherer, agent, for Hip 123, a daughter of McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds’ freshman sire Redesdale, during the sale’s opening session Tuesday. Those two fillies were among the five New York-breds that sold for six figures.

Strong demand for New York-breds held up over the three sessions and OBS reported sales on 77 of the 92 offered for a total of $2,957,700, an average price of $38,412.

Hip 843[4], a daughter of Bustin Stones, brought the sale’s second highest price for a New York-bred by a stallion based in the Empire State. The Wycoff family’s Three Diamonds Farm LLC went to $75,000 for the filly out of the unraced E Dubai mare E. Queen. Consigned by Silvestre Chavez Thoroughbreds, agent, she breezed an eighth in :10 before the sale.

Bustin Stones stands for $2,500 at Waldorf Farm in North Chatham.

Bred by and foaled at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, LLC, the filly is the eighth foal out of E. Queen. She’s the dam of six winners from seven New York-bred foals to race, including nine-time winner and $89,150-earner Big Band Benny and five-time winner Black Lightning.

The New York Thoroughbred Breeders’ Inc. is partnering with the online Thoroughbred auction company Wanamaker’s to provide a New York-bred horses of racing age sale in advance of the 2022 Saratoga Race Course meeting.

Horses will sell Wednesday, July 13, the day before the 40-day Saratoga meet begins and the last opportunity for buyers to purchase a New York-bred at auction ahead of Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga Select and Preferred Yearling Sales in August. Entries for the sale will close July 5 and the catalogue will be released the following day.

“This is a remarkable opportunity to get immediately involved in the New York-bred program ahead of the lucrative Saratoga Race Course meet,” said NYTB Executive Director Najja Thompson.

“Partnering with Wanamaker’s and their innovative online auction format makes it easily accessible to participate in our program with breeder awards up to 30 percent, Open Owner Awards up to 20 percent and programs including the NYRA Maiden Allowance Auction Series and New York-Sired bonus program. Now is the perfect time to invest in New York-breds.”

The entry fee for the auction will be $300 and commissions will be 5 percent on sales and 0 percent on RNAs. To make an entry, click here[2].

The NYTB partnered with Wanamaker’s for its annual stallion season auction in January. The auction raised funds for the NYTB to continue fulfilling its mission to promote New York breeding and racing and protecting the welfare of industry stakeholders. A portion of the proceeds from seasons sold for Kentucky stallions was donated to the Foundation of Appalachian Kentucky to aid the relief and recovery efforts of those impacted by tornadoes in the region in late 2021.

Wanamaker’s was founded two years ago and offers buyers and sellers a consistent year-round marketplace with monthly online auctions.
