Justify Filly Sells to Speedway for OBS June Record $1.4 Million

Wait 5 sec.

A gray filly by Triple Crown winner Justify (hip 428) set an OBS June record when selling for $1.4 million to Speedway Stables during Wednesday's second session of the three-day auction. The filly, who worked a quarter in :20 4/5, is out of Harbingerofthings (Rockport Harbor) and is a half-sister to Grade I-placed Tell Your Daddy (Scat Daddy). She was consigned by Hoppel, which purchased her for $100,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale.“She was absolutely amazing,” said Speedway advisor Marette Farrell. “As soon as I saw the breeze, all I wanted to do was go back to the barn to see her. And so many times you are disappointed when you see a phenomenal breeze like that. But when I went to the barn, she was everything I could have hoped for. She has size, muscle, presence and a great sense of mind. She is by a phenomenal sire in Justify, who we are real believers in. [Speedway partner] Peter Fluor loves Justify.”Farrell continued, “Speedway Stable has a broodmare band now and these are the kind of fillies we want to add to the band. The ones that have brilliance.”Bloodstock agent Donato Lanni was underbidder on the filly.The post Justify Filly Sells to Speedway for OBS June Record $1.4 Million appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
