Hip 580, a yearling colt by 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify , sold for US$1.55 million to Talla Racing and West Point Thoroughbreds Sept. 15 during opening day of Book 2 of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. The colt's price was one of the highest of Wednesday's third session.
Bred and sold by Stonehaven Steadings, Hip 580 is out of the winning Latent Heat mare True Feelings , who placed in the 2011 Schuylerville Stakes (G3) at Saratoga Race Course. Two of her four foals of racing age have earned black-type, led by Feeling Mischief (Into Mischief ), who captured the 2020 Sandpiper Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and placed in three other stakes. Royal Act (American Pharoah ) is her other black-type performer, a colt who finished second in the 2020 Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G3) at Santa Anita Park.
The dam's other winner, Forge (Harlan's Holiday ), is a five-time winner outside of stakes company with earnings of US$227,761.
The dam foaled a Quality Road colt this year.
Earlier in the day, West Point Thoroughbreds and Talla Racing purchased Hip 451, a City of Light filly, for US$500,000.
