Pleasant Colony colt brings $400,000 at Keeneland

Posted: Tuesday, October 16, 2001

As expected, an athletic half brother to 1999 Del Mar Futurity (G2) winner Forest Camp brought the highest price during the early hours of the second session of the inaugural Keeneland October yearling sale, eliciting a $400,000 bid from agent John Moynihan, bidding for Martin Cherry.Purchased for $500,000 by agent Chad Johnson as a weanling at the 2000 Keeneland November sale, the medium-sized Pleasant Colony colt was withdrawn from the 2000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga selected yearling sale of selected after developing shipping fever.

"We had loved this horse as a foal," Moynihan said. "In fact, I think we bid more than that on him last November. At Saratoga we were prepared to pay a good bit more for him but he got sick. In my opinion if you look at the horses that brought $1-million at Saratoga, he's nicer than most of them.

Consigned by Pat Costello's and Gabriel Duignan's Paramount Stables, the colt is out of the stakes-winning Hold Your Peace mare La Paz.

"He's a beautiful horse. He looks fast, but he also looks like he'll go two turns," Moynihan said.

Trade on the rest of the horses in the two-day sale continued at about the same level as on Monday, but buyback rate appeared to be markedly improved over the 43.1% level recorded during the opening session.—John P. Sparkman
