A pair of yearlings by Forestry caught the eyes of buyers at the July Fasig-Tipton sale, with a filly hammering for $200,000 and a colt for $100,000 at the one-day Lexington, Ky. sale on Tuesday.
The impressive sales results, which averaged 12 times Forestry’s 2012 stud fee of $12,500, could be tied to equally stellar results on the racetrack. His progeny recently accounted for four stakes victories in 13 days, led by Shackleford’s huge win in the Grade 1 Metropolitan H.
Hip No. 308 brought a winning bid of $200,000 from Cheyenne Stables LLC. Consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent for Normandy Farm LLC, the Kentucky-bred filly is out of Normandy’s Nell, who is the dam of Culotte, a stakes winner at two.
