\"Rosenblum<\/a>Once the dust had settled after two days of trade at\u00a0Fasig-Tipton Midlantic\u2019s 2015 sale of 2-year-olds in training,\u00a0New York-bred juveniles sat near the top of the heap and
\ngenerated an average price that approached the record-setting\u00a0sale average.<\/p>\n

Overall the benchmark renewal of the sale generated\u00a0an $88,859 average, which was up 49.1% from a year ago\u00a0($59,578). The New York-bred average was $80,081. The
\nsale median was up nearly as much, 45.2% to $45,000 (from\u00a0$31,000). The New York-bred median was $37,000. The\u00a0population of New York-breds at the auction produced 12\u00a0six-fgure horses, six selling for $200,000 and above.<\/p>\n

During the frst session of the sale (May 18), a New Yorkbred\u00a0colt by Pioneerof the Nile was purchased for $840,000\u00a0by trainer Linda Rice on behalf of Sheila Rosenblum\u2019s Lady\u00a0Sheila Stable Two syndicate. The price would be the second-\u00a0highest for the sale.<\/p>\n

Bred by All Gold Racing and foaled at Four Seasons\u00a0Farm near Bullville, the colt benefted from the timing of\u00a0the Triple Crown bid by Pioneerof the Nile\u2019s most famous
\noffspring American Pharoah, but he is a standout individual\u00a0in his own right. The colt generated considerable presale\u00a0buzz after working a quarter-mile in :212\u20445 during the
\nunder tack show. He is also fattered by his pedigree page.\u00a0Out of Lantern Glow, an unraced daughter of Mineshaft,\u00a0he is a half brother to last year\u2019s Remsen Stakes (gr. II)
\nwinner Leave the Light On (by Horse Greeley) and to the\u00a0stakes-winning Harlan\u2019s Pure (by Harlan\u2019s Holiday).\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a great time to have a Pioneerof the Nile, especially
\none with a pedigree like his that worked like he did,\u201d said\u00a0consignor Nick de Meric prior to the sale.\u00a0De Meric purchased the colt for $150,000 at last year\u2019s\u00a0Keeneland September yearling sale; as a weanling, the\u00a0youngster had brought $135,000 at the Keeneland November\u00a0sale.<\/p>\n

Rosenblum, whose partnership also includes Rice and\u00a0Iris Smith, was the driving force behind landing the colt.\u00a0Said Rice, \u201cSheila really wanted this one. Every time I went
\nto stop, Sheila said to keep going. When I shook my head\u00a0no, she said one more bid.\u201d\u00a0\u201cLet\u2019s pray that little bit more pays off one day, hopefully,\u201d\u00a0Rosenblum said. The second top-selling state-bred was Hip 400, a colt by\u00a0Bluegrass Cat out of Unbridled Melody, who went to Jacob\u00a0L. West, agent, from the consignment of Raul Reyes\u2019 Kings
\nEquine, agent, for $450,000 after breezing a co-bullet :10\u00a0fat for an eighth of a mile.<\/p>\n

Bred by WinStar Farm and foaled at Vinery New York\u00a0at Sugar Maple near Poughquag, the colt is a full brother\u00a0to stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Michael With
\nUs and a half brother to stakes winner and grade I-placed\u00a0Tourist (by Tiznow). Bluegrass Cat, a former leading New\u00a0York sire, stood at Vinery New York at Sugar Maple in
\n2012 and 2013 and at Rockridge Stud in 2014 before relocating\u00a0to California.<\/p>\n

Purchased by Reyes for $90,000 at last year\u2019s Fasig-Tipton\u00a0Kentucky October sale, the colt RNA\u2019d in March for\u00a0$160,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Florida sale. Before the Midlantic\u00a0auction Reyes said, \u201cHe has changed quite a bit since\u00a0the Florida sale. He looks a lot better now. He looked dull\u00a0in Miami. I think he didn\u2019t like the heat. He breezed good\u00a0down there, but he didn\u2019t look the best.\u201d By Sarah Mace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
