Musical Romance, champion female sprinter of 2011, sold to Katsumi Yoshida’s Northern Farm in Japan for $1.6 million on Monday at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall mixed sale.
The 5-year-old Concorde’s Tune mare shipped to Fasig-Tipton from Santa Anita after finishing sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint last Saturday, an unsuccessful bid at defending her victory in the race last year. Selling as a racing or broodmare prospect, Musical Romance has won 12 of 41 career starts for lifetime earnings of $1,681,885.
