A filly from the final crop of Arrogate sold for $1 million as the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May 2-year-olds in training sale concluded two days of trade at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium with solid figures, including a record-tying median. Fasig-Tipton reported that 373 juveniles changed hands over two days for total gross receipts of $34,751,500. That figure was the second highest in this sale’s history, behind last year’s record gross of $37,297,700 for 391 sold. The average price was $93,168, finishing as the third highest in sale history, behind last year's record mark of $95,391 and 2021’figure of $94,391. The median was $50,000, tying the sale record established in 2021. Last year's figure was $47,000. The cumulative buyback rate was 15 percent, slightly bettering the 16 percent achieved last year. It is the second-lowest buyback rate in sale history, behind 13 percent in 2010. This was the first of two juvenile sales Fasig-Tipton will host in Timonium this spring, with a single-session auction set for June 28 for the company, which put its Gulfstream sale on hiatus this year. The Midlantic sale has steadily grown to one of the most prominent in the nation, as it has now produced seven-figure offerings in eight consecutive years -- with that group led by Eclipse Award champion Gamine, sold here in 2019. :: Take your handicapping to the next level and play with FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.  The latest to join the parade is the Arrogate filly, purchased by bloodstock agent Kerri Radcliffe, on behalf of an undisclosed London-based client, from the consignment of Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds. "Thank you Fasig-Tipton for hosting the Midlantic May sale," the consignment operation posted on its Twitter account. "We were honored to bring our very best." This is the last of what will be just three crops by Eclipse Award champion Arrogate, who retired as North America's all-time leading money-winner and who was recently voted into this year's Hall of Fame class. The son of Unbridled's Song died in 2020, after a brief illness. Each of his first two crops to the track has included multiple Grade 1 winners. His first crop is highlighted by Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath and La Brea winner Fun to Dream, while his second crop includes Grade 1-winning juveniles Cave Rock and And Tell Me Nolies. With that early success, and with a limited supply of remaining offerings in the pipeline, Arrogate's third and final crop has been in hot demand at this year's 2-year-old in training sales. He was represented by a $1.05 million colt at the first sale of the season, the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s March sale, and then by a $1.45 colt the following month at the OBS spring sale. The filly who would become his latest seven-figure horse was bred in Kentucky by Dale Taylor, Sr. She was a $255,000 by pinhookers Randy Hartley and Dean DeRenzo out of the Paramount Sales consignment at the Keeneland September yearling sale. The filly was entered in, but ultimately scratched from, the OBS March sale -- not an uncommon occurrence with developing young horses -- and ultimately found a spot in the Midlantic May sale. The filly became the talk of Timonium after a strong breeze during last week's under-tack preview show, working a furlong, the traditional yardstick for these sales, in 10 seconds flat on the dirt track. She was one of six juveniles tied for the fastest time -- and it was considered a strong time on this particular track. When Hejazi, now a Grade 1-placed winner, worked in 9 4/5 seconds last year, it was the first time since 2012 a juvenile had shaded 10 seconds at the under-tack show. He subsequently brought a sale-record $3.55 million. The speedy filly is out of the winning Mutakddim mare Twixy, whose four winners from five starters are led by stakes winner Twixy Roll. Twixy is a half-sister to stakes-placed Silver Phone. Another half-sister is Abbey's Missy, the dam of Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Caleb's Posse. The second-highest price of the sale was an $800,000 Mendelssohn filly who topped Monday's opening session, purchased by Peter and Ann Fluor and K.C. Weiner's Speedway Stables from the consignment of Paul Sharp, as agent. The filly, an April foal, was bred in Kentucky by Dr. Kendall Hansen, and was also a successful pinhook. Sharp and pinhooking partner Liz Crow acquired her for $125,000 at the Keeneland September yearling sale. "Best of luck to Speedway Stable and the new connections of our Mendelssohn filly," Sharp posted on Twitter. "Great job to our entire team. It’s always fun to sell a session topper!" The filly, who breezed her furlong in 10 1/5 seconds, is from the second crop of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Mendelssohn, who also won the Group 2 U.A.E. Derby and was multiple Grade 1-placed on dirt. Mendelssohn finished seventh on the 2022 freshman earnings list. The filly is out of the stakes-placed Hansen mare Lady Hansen, whose first foal is a winner in Japan. Lady Hansen is out of stakes winner Where Woody Bea, making her a half-sister to stakes-placed Steel Shot. Where Woody Bea is a granddaughter of champion turf mare De La Rose. The top colt of the sale was a $700,000 son of Awesome Slew, purchased by the WinStar Farm-affiliated Maverick Racing, Siena Farm, and Commonwealth, in partnership on Monday. The colt, who was consigned by Tom McCrocklin, as agent, was also among the group of juveniles tied for the bullet furlong at 10 seconds flat. "Exciting times ahead for Commonwealth," Chase Chamberlin, co-founder of the sports investment app, posted on Twitter. "A freak on the track and a beautiful specimen upon inspection." :: Bet the races on DRF Bets!

WinStar and Siena are regular partners, and WinStar and Commonwealth each own shares in Dubai World Cup winner Country Grammer. The familiar partners' new acquisition, a Florida-bred colt, is from the second crop of millionaire and multiple graded stakes winner Awesome Slew, who emerged as an exciting stallion prospect in the Sunshine State last year. Runner-up on Florida's freshman earnings list behind only breakout success Girvin, who has since moved to Kentucky, Awesome Slew also checked in 12th on the North American freshman sire earnings list, a creditable accomplishment. All the stallions ahead of him had significantly more starters. The colt is out of the winning Distorted Humor mare Cash Reserve, dam of stakes-placed Campy Cash and Reckling. Out of Grade 2 winner Private Treasure, Cash Reserve is a half-sister to stakes winners Golden Locket and Sam Lord's Castle.
