The Top Five Millionaires:<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

The top selling horse this week was a handsome under-achiever named Sinister Street<\/B>, hip # 173795.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Consigned by Pointblank<\/I><\/B>, the 2 YO dark bay colt is by Street Sense and out of a Deputy Minister mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Shades<\/I><\/B> came out the high bidder, paying $1,773,553.00 for the honor. Shades, like many, believes that this colt can and will improve on his current 0\/3 record and couldn’t wait to get him home.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Reserve honors went to a well-bred 3 YO filly by Smarty Jones, # 149911 named Limited<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The pretty 3 YO bay filly is out of the Woodman mare California Limited who started 20 times and won two of them.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is also the dam of four foals to race, three of them winners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Limited<\/B> has won two of her 11 starts and finished in the money in eight of them, but for various reasons has only started twice since August.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Consigned by Jayvee<\/I><\/B>, the hammer dropped at $1,600,001.00 and it was Bonnied<\/I><\/B> who signed the ticket on this nice filly.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Hip number #126330 was a solid looking 4 YO chestnut colt named Vates<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>By Came Home out of the Dynaformer mare Dynalou, he has just this year matured enough to start and figure things out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Vates<\/B> has won six of his 28 starts and four of them came this year when he started to turn out some triple digit speed figures.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His dam has four foals to race, all of them winners and one is stakes placed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ceclaim10<\/I><\/B> sold this one to Laxe<\/I><\/B> for $1,500,000.00.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Shoreup22<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B> led in #162728 Indigo Girl<\/B>, a lovely grey, 3YO filly sired by AP Indy and out of a Grey Dawn II mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Running for a low claim of $2,000 in her last start she came out of the race still a maiden with a record of 0\/7 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Indigo Girl is still lightly raced and Levers believes that with her improving speed figures, she will turn into a better horse with age.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Levers forked over $1,486,276.00 to test his theory.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Although he is still a maiden, #171516 Fine Dining<\/B> has only started three times and is another that should improve with age and distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 2 YO copper chestnut colt is by Dynaformer out of a Nureyev mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Chloedawg2<\/I><\/B> needed the stall and consigned this big red colt to the sale where Ceclaim19<\/I><\/B> signed the ticket for $1,450,251.00<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
