New York Central, a Grade 3 winner in Maryland last year, was purchased by Khalid bin Mishref out of the Keeneland November breeding stock sale’s selection of racing and stallion prospects last fall specifically to target the inaugural running of a major-money event in Saudi Arabia. The $240,000 purchase price looks like a relative bargain after that plan came to fruition, with New York Central scoring a dramatic late-running victory in the $1.5 million Saudia Sprint on Saturday at King Abdulaziz Racetrack, on the undercard of the $20 million Saudi Cup. With Mishref’s purchase paying off, New York Central’s success could continue to pay dividends for U.S. sellers, Middle Eastern buyers, and for Keeneland, which is set to showcase horses of racing age to the world market at both its April and November sales.
