Already the sire of a stakes placed winner from a handful of runners, Golden Pal has seen his first crop come out running and buyers have a chance to purchase one by the rising star this coming week when nine sell at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale. The second through the ring for Golden Pal is the Randy Miles-offered Hip 50, a half-brother to Gr.3 winner Gam’s Mission.

She is out of the Gr.1 winner Auntie Mame, who was also a useful broodmare as the dam of four winners and the dam of stakes placed Eurowest. Auntie Mame is one of two Gr.1 winners out of Lady Vixen and one of four Gr.1 winners on this page overall. Her dam also produced Gr.1 winner Star De Lady Ann and the dam of champions and multiple Gr.1 winners Channel Maker and Johnny Bear. Another half-sister produced stakes winner Pants N Kisses, who won 13 races overall, and the Gr.3 placed Brothers Nicholas. Don Alberto bred Hip 78, a colt on offer by De Meric Sales. The colt is a half-brother to one winner from one to race out of the Curlin mare Bonita Bianca, whose seven career victories included five stakes wins with the [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mutjrYvH54Q[/embed] mare also Gr.2 placed. Bonita Bianca is the best of seven winners out of Gr.1 winner Friendly Michelle, who is one of two stakes performers for her own stakes winning dam. This family is strong from top to bottom with Friendly Michelle’s sisters producing four stakes performers led by three stakes winners and even more stakes performers under the next dam. There are 26 stakes performers listed on the page with the dams behind this colt not only producers of runners but producers of stakes producers as well. A $150,000 yearling, the Ontario-bred Hip 347 is offered by Colin Brennan Bloodstock.

Her dam Miss Matzo has produced nine winners from nine to race and comes with an update with 3-year-old Thundermaker winning again after the catalog was released. Thundermaker is by another Uncle Mo son in Modernist, making him closely related to this filly. Bred by Shannondoe Farm and Arika Meeuse in Ontario, the filly’s dam is a half-sister to multiple stakes winner Madame Giry with two Gr.3 placed runners also named. There was a huge update for the Julie Davies offered Hip 610 on the first Friday in May, thanks to his dam’s half-sister.

That wasn’t the only success she’s had on the track this year as the winner of the Gr.2 Santa Anita Oaks and Las Virgenes as one of the best 3-year-old fillies in the country. Also hailing from the family of dual Gr.1 winner Flying Continental, this Jumping Jack Racing-bred is also a half-brother to one winner from one to race out of his Into Mischief dam. Meaning is the ninth stakes performer to join this colt’s immediate family. He is the final of Golden Pal’s nine offerings in this sale. Both sessions of the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale kick off at 11AM ET on May 18 and 19. You can see the pages of all of Golden Pal’s offerings here
