Twirling Candy’s first crop has served him well, led on the track by Kentucky Derby contender Danzing Candy, who won the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes last weekend. In the auction ring, his first foals were led at the 2015 OBS March sale by the $630,000 filly Uptown Twirl and the $500,000 colt Play Big, and by Conquest Neighpalm, who was the second-most-expensive offering at last year’s Barretts March sale of select 2-year-olds in training at $400,000.The stallion’s second crop helped him take the next step at this year’s OBS March sale, accounting for two of the top four prices.A colt out of the Henny Hughes mare Sage Mist went to the partnership of Al Shaqab Racing, WinStar Farm, and China Horse Club for $850,000, while a filly out of the Menifee mare Felicitee sold to bloodstock agency Solis/Litt for $825,000. Both juveniles were the second-most-expensive offerings of their respective sessions.That pair became the two highest-priced auction graduates of any age by Twirling Candy, whose 18 juveniles to sell in 2015 averaged $186,000. The average yearling sale price for his first two crops rose 20 percent from $43,009 in 2014 to $51,458 in 2015.Twirling Candy, a 9-year-old son of Candy Ride, stands at Lane’s End in Versailles, Ky., for an advertised fee of $15,000.
