Robert Clay's Grandview Equine emerged victorious after a protracted bidding battle on the Gainesway-consigned hip 18, a colt by leading sire Into Mischief, who fetched $1.1 million in the early stages of Monday's opening session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale in Lexington. The Mar. 31 foal is the second out of 2017 GI Test S. heroine American Gal (Concord Point), who was first purchased by Don Alberto Corp. for $2.2 million at Fasig-Tipton November in 2017 before selling to Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm in foal to Tapit for $3 million at the same event 12 months later. This is also the family of GI/G1SWs Seventh Street and Reynaldothewizard. An Into Mischief filly out of American Gal's dam American Story (Ghostzapper) made $575,000 from Nice Guys Stable as the very next horse through the ring.
First past the million dollar mark!
