Harness: D A Mindcraft heads first day of London Classic Yearling Sale

D A Mindcraft, a Muscle Mass colt, led the first of two London Classic Yearling Sale sessions on Tuesday, as he was purchased by Pollack Racing for C$140,000.

Bred and consigned by Ashley and Dean Wilson and sold as HIP 80, D A Mindcraft is a brother to four horses who have earned more than C$250,000 and to six who have banked over C$100,000. His full brother Stable Genius took a mark of 1:51 1/5 at the Meadowlands last year and is also owned by Pollack Racing.

Also making it into six figures during the session were Bulldog Hanover colt Code Name Jack (HIP 62), another offering by the Wilsons who went to Power Racing Stable for C$135,000, and two Seelster Farms-breds in HIP 66 Panache Seelster and HIP 81 Valor Seelster. Panache Seelster, a filly from the first crop of King Of The North, was acquired by Roger Mayotte for C$120,000 and Valor Seelster, another colt by Bulldog Hanover, was taken by Jack Darling for C$110,000.
