Jack Christopher Sends 26 to Fasig-Tipton October

The popularity of Jack Christopher yearlings looks to continue in coming days when 26 go under the hammer at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearlings Sale from October 20 to 23.

A New York-bred half-sister to Grade I winner Tripoli bred by Stonewall Farm sells as Hip 132 with Hunter Valley Farm.

The pair are out of Tapit’s stakes placed Love Train, who has produced four winners from her six to race part of a trio of successful broodmares out of Grade II winner Touch Love. That mare produced multiple stakes winner Starfish Bay, who went on to produce stakes winner and Grade II placed Blind Ambition and the dam of champion Little Arabella. Meanwhile, another of Touch Love’s daughters is the dam of Grade II placed Parnelli.

Touch Love didn’t only produce successful broodmares but was also a successful broodmare with nine winners hailing from the mare as well.

Wynnstay, H. Allen Poindexter and Sharon Cannon bred Hip 651 out of Star of Gallantry with Wynnstay Sales also consigning the colt.

Star of Gallantry has quickly become a successful broodmare thanks to both her foals to race winning stakes with eight-time winner Carimba winning the Pan Zareta Stakes and Enbarr the Capote Stakes. The Warrior’s Reward mare was one of seven winners out of her own dam with the stakes placed Lucinda K producing Grade III winner Moonwalk, stakes winner and Grade II placed Thatswhatimean, and Grade III placed Atswhatimtalknbout.

Lucinda K’s placed daughter Here Comes Lucinda also produced Grade I winner Stormy Lucy and the dam of Grade II winner Big Runner. In all, four of Lucinda K’s daughters are the dams of granddams of stakes performers.

A colt from the family of Horse of the Year Dance Smartly sells as Hip 832 with Paramount Sales.

Bred by Drumkenny Farm and American Equistock, the colt’s Giant’s Causeway dam is out of the multiple stakes placed Fleet Of Foot. Out of Seattle Classic, Fleet of Foot has kept the tradition of producing top racehorses alive as the dam of multiple graded stakes winner His Race to Win and the two-time winning dam of champion and Grade I winner El Tormenta. El Tormenta is also a half-brother to the dam of Justify’s stakes winning Parenting.

Deeper in this family you’ll find Grade I winner Dancethruthedawn, Moreno, Full of Wonder, Smart Strike, and others.

A half-sister to Jack Christopher’s studmate Practical Joke is the dam of Hip 1529 consigned by Paramount Sales.

Bred by Springhouse Farm, the filly is out of Colonel John mare Humor Me Colonel, who has done well as a broodmare so far. The mare is the dam of three winners with that group including stakes winner Beautiful Empire and Obliging, who is a three-quarter sister to this filly.

Humor Me Colonel is a half-sister to three winners out of the stakes placed Halo Humor, whose best runner is three-time winner Practical Joke but who also produced two six-time winners in Rich’s Way and Cat On. Halo Humor is one of four winners from four to race out of Gilded Halo, whose other runners include stakes winner Cubera.
