New York-bred Outwork filly sells for $500,000
Uncle Mo was the leading freshman sire of 2015, and sons from that first crop are now represented by their own first yearlings. One of those, Grade 1 winner Outwork, made a splash at the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred yearling sale in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., this week, represented by a filly sold for $500,000 to lead his offerings.
“I’ve been outbid on a lot of them,” said trainer Jeremiah Englehart, who signed the ticket on behalf of his JCE Racing, All About the Girls, and Travis Durr. The filly was consigned by Denali Stud, as agent for breeder WinStar Farm, which stands Outwork.
“We’ve had a few,” Denali’s Conrad Bandoroff said of offspring of Outwork. “They all have very nice profiles, very smooth, athletic horses. They look a lot like Uncle Mo and a lot like that sireline. They put a beautiful neck and shoulder on them. Good movers, athletic horses.”
Out of the unraced Tiznow mare Light and Variable, the filly is a half-sister to English Group 3-placed stakes winner Bye Bye Hong Kong. Light and Variable is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Nonna Mela and Grade 3-placed Nonna Madeline. This is the family of champion Rhythm and Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, with Grade 1 winners Bluegrass Cat, Girolamo, Got Lucky, and Imagining also appearing on the catalog page.
