Multiple Grade I winner Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil) sparked an intense bidding war Tuesday night at Fasig-Tipton November before eventually hammering for $5 million to Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm. Several of her owners during her racing career will remain part of her ownership, however, and the bay will return to racing in 2022. Selling via Hunter Valley Farm, agent as hip 232, the 4-year-old bay captured a pair of Grade III stakes early in her 3-year-old season before upsetting champion Gamine (Into Mischief) in last September's GI Longines Kentucky Oaks. She added four more graded stakes victories this season, including top-level successes in the La Troienne S. and Clement L. Hirsch S. to push her earnings over the $2-million mark. She was also the only horse prior to the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff to beat presumptive champion Letruska (Super Saver) this year in the GII Azeri S. Mar. 13. Shedaresthedevil was sold as a racing or broodmare prospect and has been trained by Brad Cox for Flurry Racing Stables, Qatar Racing Limited and Big Aut Farms to this point.
