Curlin mare Deep Space, Mystic Guide colt lead Book 4 at Keeneland November

Deep Space, a winning daughter of Curlin in foal to Maxfield, sold for $115,000 and a weanling colt by Mystic Guide brought $72,000 to lead the New York-bred offerings in Book 4 of the Keeneland November breeding stock sale.

Sean S. Perl Bloodstock purchased Deep Space, Hip 2191[2], out of the Vinery Sales consignment. Bred by Newtown Anner Stud and foaled at Jack’s Farm on the Hill in Millbrook, 8-year-old Deep Space is out of the winning Bluegrass Cat mare Purple Cat.

Deep Space, who went 1-2-1 in eight starts and earned $24,130, is a half-sister to multiple New York-bred stakes winner and $423,910-earner Maker’s Candy, winning Mizzen Mast gelding Catapult Jack, 2-year-old New York-bred Speightster colt Dream Alliance and a weanling colt by War Dancer born March 17 in New York.

Keeneland reported Monday that total receipts of $181.4 million through the first seven of nine sessions of the November sale had already surpassed last year’s total of $176.5 million. New York-breds contributed to that haul, led by the sale of 15 horses sold for $100,000 or more.

Keeneland reported sales on 20 of the 29 New York-breds offered during Book 4 for a total of $702,000, an average price of $35,100 and median of $31,000. Overall, 54 of the 69 New York-breds through the ring have brought $4,613,000, an average price of $85,426 and median of $60,000.

The group of New York-breds also includes 26 weanlings that have sold for $1,666,000, an average price of $64,077 and median of $45,000. Two of those weanlings brought prices higher than the average during the Book 4 sessions – Hip 2225 and Hip 1991.

Hip 2225[4], a colt from the first crop of Grade 1 winner Mystic Guide, brought the top price for a New York-bred weanling in Book 4. Owl Stable purchased the colt, who was bred by and foaled at Saratoga Glen Farm LLC in Schuylerville and is out of the Grade 2-placed Tiznow mare Fantasy of Flight.

Consigned by Vinery Sales, agent, the Mystic Guide colt is a half-brother to stakes-placed winner Oxford Blues, five-time winner $150,364-earner My Romeo Lima and another winner. Fantasy of Flight, purchased out of the 2023 Keeneland November sale for $9,000 by Saratoga Glen Farm, is also the dam of a yearling filly by Maxfield.

Hip 1991[5], a daughter of Maclean’s Music, landed the high price for a weanling filly on a bid of $70,000 from Dam The River Bloodstock.

Bred by Waterville Lake Stables LLC and consigned by Winter Quarter Farm, agent, the filly is the first foal out of the unraced Flatter mare Puffin Island. She’s out of the four-time stakes winner, Grade 2-placed and $759,200-earner Quezon, a daughter of Tiz Wonderful who sold in foal to Gun Runner for $700,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale.

The sale continues with the first of two concluding Book 5 sessions at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
