The daughter of Munnings is already the dam of two winners from two starters, including this year's GII Gallant Bob Stakes winner Mad House (Vekoma).Blame It On Alphie (hip 232), in foal to perennial leading sire Into Mischief, sold for $400,000 to Hunter Valley Farm & Mountmellick Farm from the consignment of Mulholland Springs, agent. By Blame, Blame It On Alphie is a stakes placed half-sister to three stakes winners.“It's always nerve-wracking to be the first sale of the year offering a large quantity of breeding stock,” said Director of Digital Sales Leif Aaron. “Broodmares in foal were clearly in high demand–which makes perfect sense given the time of year. Our numbers are up significantly from 2024 to 2025: horses offered, sold, average, and gross are all showing major increases. The number of registered bidders rose by 25 percent, which is an incredible jump.“Gains like that don't happen by chance,” he said. “This was the result of a massive collective effort. We turned around a 400-horse catalogue in just ten days–an enormous undertaking. That meant vetting, photos, seller descriptions, and mountains of paperwork. Buyers, too, put in the work to study the catalogue and come prepared. It was a true team effort from everyone involved, and we're deeply grateful to our customers for giving us the opportunity to put on this show.”Click here for full results.The post Broodmare Stifled Heiress Tops Fasig-Tipton October Digital Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
