Pope seizes a buying opportunity at Keeneland sale

Whisper Hill Farm owner Mandy Pope had just signed the auction receipt for her first $1 million horse: an immature but poised Unbridled’s Song filly who is a half-sister to Roman Ruler and El Corredor. The gray or roan filly, with white socks and a broad blaze, represented Pope’s single biggest investment in the Thoroughbred market, and a long-term one. After racing, the filly will join Pope’s broodmare band in Florida and will, Pope said, have a home for life.
