A filly out of a half-sister to Grade I winner Morning Line sells as Hip 13 through Legacy Bloodstock.
This colt out of Sastrugi sees two of her dam’s other siblings earning blacktype, including the stakes winning Liam’s Pride. Sastrugi is also a half-sister to the dam of stakes winner Rightandjust and granddams of Grade III winner Order and Law and stakes placed Condensation.
Sastrugi is a granddaughter of dual Grade I winner November Snow, whose descendants include champion Bounding and Grade I winners Express Train and Anthony Van Dyck.
A full sister to Grade II winner Daddy Long Legs is the dam of Hip 14, a colt offered by Greenfield Farms for Sierra Farm.
The filly is a half-sister to two winners from three to race out of Scattered Rain, whose siblings also include the multiple stakes winning Tres Dream and the dam of stakes placed Dreamwoorker. Two of the colt’s first four dams won stakes themselves while three of them produced stakes winners. In all, the colt’s page has 13 stakes winners and four other stakes performers.
A half-brother to Grade III winner Island Commish sells as Hip 76 through Taylor Made Sales.
Island Commish is one of six winners out of the winning Bide a Wee Island, who is one of eight winners out of her own stakes placed dam. That dam, Our Mariah, produced three stakes performers including multiple Grade II winner Something Extra and stakes winner Ciuri. Our Mariah is one of two stakes performers out of her own dam, whose other is the Grade I-placed Miss Normal with Grade II winners Nicole H and Gun Song under her daughter’s name.
