A filly by Arrogate foaled in New York sold for the second highest price Wednesday at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic June sale of 2-year-olds in training in Timonium, Maryland.
Ellen Charles’ Hillwood Stable purchased by filly, sold as Hip 78, for $225,000. The gray or roan filly, who was bred by Hidden Lake Farm LLC and 3C Stables LLC and foaled at Hidden Lake Farm in Stillwater, also finished as the second most expensive filly at the sale behind Hip 47, a daughter of Kantharos who brought $500,000 from agent Steve Young.
The Arrogate filly is out of the winning Stephen Got Even mare Summer Shade, who is a half-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Hot Summer and stakes-placed winners Stirred Up and Southwest. Summer Shade is the dam of a pair of winners, including the stakes-placed $223,656-earner Harmon.
The filly was consigned by Cary Frommer LLC, agent. Frommer purchased the filly for a pinhooking partnership that reportedly included Hillwood Stable for $170,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale.
Fasig-Tipton reported sales on nine of the 13 New York-breds through the ring during the one-day June sale for a total of $422,000, an average price of $46,889 and median of $26,000.
Hugh McMahon, agent, landed the top-priced New York-bred colt, going to $47,000 for Hip 70, a son of Catalina Cruiser. Consigned by Navas Equine, agent, the colt is out of the Grade 2-winning Elusive Quality mare Royale Michele.
Barry Ostrager bred the Catalina Cruiser colt and purchased Royale Michele in utero to that stallion for $20,000 at the 2020 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. Royale Michele is the dam of four winners. The Catalina Cruiser colt, also foaled at Hidden Lake Farm, was originally sold for $45,000 to 111 Warriors at the 2022 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October yearling sale.
