Keeneland's first flash sale in three years closed Thursday afternoon, resulting in Harlee Honey (Harlan's Holiday) selling for $240,000 to Miss Vicky Stables and Ocean Honey (West Coast) going to Ocean Honey Partners for $48,000. The former is the dam of G2 Richmond Stakes winner Black Forza (Complexity), while the latter is Black Forza's 4-year-old half-sister.
The 2-year-old Black Forza is headed to Sunday's $1-million Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint after clearing quarantine from the UK Monday.
“Keeneland is thrilled to have had the opportunity to showcase these two outstanding individuals from the family of the Black Forza,” said Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy. “This unique collection and the Flash Sale itself accomplished what we were looking for: a high level of interest and active buyer participation. The sale recorded more than 1,500 unique visitors from all corners of the world, with our international agents fielding interest from buyers in Europe, Australia, and Japan, among others. We are very pleased with the response.”
Consigned by Legacy Bloodstock, agent, Harlee Honey is a half-sister to GSW California Nectar (Stormy Atlantic). She sold in foal to Zandon. The winning Ocean Honey was consigned by Paramount Sales, agent as a broodmare prospect.
