Chris Baker signed the ticket for Three Chimneys Farm, agent, landing the Speightstown filly for $1,075,000.
Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, as part of the Melnyk Racing Stables dispersal, Bedford Land was the first seven-figure horse at any of Monday's sessions that began with the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling sale and was followed by a short dispersal of Melnyk broodmares and weanlings.
