The most expensive colt sold at the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearling Sale in the US this week was a powerful bay son of Triple Crown hero American Pharoah that made $1.25million.
Consigned by Denali Stud as an agent, the colt from stakes-winner Swingit was snapped up by Speedway Stables.
Respected agent Marette Farrell was able to outbid Coolmore to sign the winning $1.25-million ticket on behalf of Speedway’s K.C. Weiner and Peter Fluor.
With his oldest Northern Hemisphere progeny now 3YO, American Pharoah has produced 20 stakes horses including 10 stakes-winners and his stock are in strong demand with other good results at this sale including $300,000 for a filly from La Vita Bella and $300,000 for a colt from Just Louise.
The first Australian bred American Pharoah 2YO will race this season and he is back at Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $55,000.
