Agent Emmanuel de Seroux bought a bay filly by American Pharoah and out of Untouched Talent, the dam of grade 1 winner and sire Bodemeister, for $1 million at the Fasig-Tipton November sale. The filly, Hip 46, is the sale's second $1 million horse.
Number of stallions bred slides 5.7%, while the number of mares bred declined 5.6%. The percentage of mares bred to stallions with books of 125 or more, however, increased to 29.4% from 28.7% in 2016.
While Pioneerof the Nile and Speightstown's fees remain unchanged, fees increase for leading second-crop sire Bodemeister and leading freshman sire Overanalyze.
The 3-year-old colt from the first crop of Bodemeister was found to have stomach ulcers after the Aug. 26 Travers Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets (G1), and was recently cleared of the ulcers by veterinarians. He will return to training in November.
With its three-horse consignment at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic fall yearling sale, Audley Farm made a splash jumping back into the game as a consignor Oct. 2 when selling a Bodemeister filly for $140,000.
