Dogwood buys half brother to Mine That Bird

HIP 107: YONAGUSKA COLT

Dogwood Stable purchased a half brother to Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Mine That Bird for $485,000 on Monday at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic two-year-olds in training sale.

Dogwood President Cot Campbell secured the winning bid on the phone from his Aiken, South Carolina, office. The colt is the second foal out of the eight-year-old Smart Strike mare Mining My Own.

Mine That Bird, a three-year-old gelding by Birdstone, was Canada’s champion two-year-old male of 2008. He finished a closing second behind Rachel Alexandra in the Blackberry Preakness Stakes (G1) on Saturday.

“I’m glad to get this colt. I thought he looked terrific under tack galloping at the sale,” Campbell said. “[Mine That Bird] proved his mettle on Saturday afternoon, and that made me a little higher on this colt.”

Campbell said the colt will be offered as a partnership and sent to trainer Todd Pletcher.

“Based on how he moves and looks and considering who his half brother is, I have a lot of confidence sending him to the races, and you have to think he’ll have some sire potential,” Campbell said. “I thought Mine That Bird was magnificent in the Preakness. He came with running on his mind.”

Cary Frommer consigned the Yonaguska colt on behalf of Paul Saylor, who bought him for $100,000 at the 2009 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s March sale of selected two-year-olds in training.

The colt’s value increased significantly when Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby, and Saylor decided to re-offer him.

The transaction continued a big day for Frommer, who earlier on Monday sold a Tapit colt for a Midlantic-record $850,000.
