Two days removed from a scintillating GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint victory, Ways and Means (m, 5, Practical Joke–Strong Incentive, by Warrior's Reward) took the brief van ride to Fasig-Tipton for the 'Night of the Stars' sale, commanding $5 million to the bid of Brittany Linton, agent for Boyd Racing, Monday evening. The 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', whose wins also include the GI Ballerina Stakes and the GI Test Stakes, was consigned by Elite as Hip 161. She sold as a racing or broodmare prospect.Bred by and campaigned as a homebred for Klaravich Stables, Ways and Means is a half-sister to GI Matriarch Stakes winner Surge Capacity (Flintshire {GB}) and to GIII Monmouth Cup Stakes winner Highly Motivated (Into Mischief). See our recent story on her sale. Ways and Means's dam, Strong Incentive, sold at this same sale in 2024 for $2.75 million when picked up by M.V.
