Stall Lintec consigned Thursday's Italian listed winner Lips Freedom (Ger) (Free Eagle {Ire}) to the BBAG August Online Sale, and Freddy Tylicki, acting with Andrew Kinirons Racing, snapped up the colt for €43,000 to top proceedings on Friday.
Sold as lot 40, Lips Freedom has also placed at Group 3 level twice in Germany. A half-brother to G2 German 2000 Guineas and G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis Bayerisches Zuchtrennen hero Lucky Lion (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire}) and the stakes-placed Lips Eagle (Ger) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Lips Freedom is out of multiple stakes winner and two-time Group 3-placed Lips Arrow (Ger) (Big Shuffle).
Backes (Ger) (Millowitsch {Ger}) (lot 7) brought a winning bid of €18,000 from Edmund Eitel, and the placed colt will remain with trainer Markus Klug. He is a full-brother to the G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen third Barbelchen (Ger), with the duo out of the Group 3 scorer Butzje (Ger) (It's Gino {Ger}). Rounding out the top three was Lotterbov (Ire) (Protectionist {Ger}) (lot 24), who cost Greg Wroblewski €16,500. The German listed winner is a half-brother to three stakes horses. Both horses were from the draft of Holger Renz.
Overall, 24 horses sold for a gross of €187,000. The average was €7,792.
