Harness: Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale wraps up with two six-figure sellers
The 2017 Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale came to a close on Saturday at the Indiana State Faigrounds in Indianapolis, and a pair of babies by Rockin Image went into six figures to lead the day and the sale.
HIP 236 Newport Party, a filly, was the topper, fetching $145,000 from William DeLong. Selling from the Legacy Lane Farm consignment, Newport Party is out of the Incredible Finale mare Fox Valley Monika, making Newport Party a full sister to Can't Touch This ($422,864), and a half-sister to millionaire Glass Pack (Cole Muffler), plus four other six-figure earners.
The other Rockin Image offspring to enter the $100,000 club was HIP 296 Sunday Clothes. This colt, selling from the In Law Stables consignment, was purchased by Anthony Lombardi, Rocco Ruffolo and S&R Stable. Sunday Clothes is out the Electric Yankee mare Sara's Lucky Charm ($119,025), which makes him a half-brother to Beckham's Z Tam (Always A Virgin, $281,244).
