Solis/Litt Spend for Super Saver Colt
Bloodstock agents Alex Solis III and Jason Litt came away with the third-highest priced juvenile of the Fasig-Tipton Florida sale in hip 130, a colt by freshman sire Super Saver who was hammered down to the West Coast-based pair for $750,0000.The first foal out of MSP Magdalena’s Chase (Cape Town) breezed in :10 flat and was consigned by Niall Brennan Stables, Agent IV.
“He was really–and this will sound silly–but, he was the perfect colt,” Litt said. “He has good balance, great athleticism and is conformationally correct. He had a great outlook and Niall loved the fact that he never turned a hair and that he always did everything easy. At this point that’s what you’re looking for, you’re looking for the ones who jump through all the hoops and he did it. So at this point, we’re pretty happy.”
Solis added that the handsome bay was “great on video, great on time, great physical–what else can you ask for? He just seems like a racehorse and that’s what we’re here to buy.”
Although the pair did not disclose the client they purchased the colt for, Solis said the buyer is from Boston and that the horse will most likely race on the New York circuit.
WinStar Farm’s GI Kentucky Derby winner proved quite popular at OBS March, and the story was the same yesterday in Williston. A total of five horses sold by the 7-year-old, including another $400,000 buy by Solis and Litt (hip 107) and a $600,000 purchase by Alex and JoAnn Lieblong (hip 4). Both were consigned by Eddie Woods. The five Super Savers totaled $2 million, good for an average of $400,000–tops among all freshman at the sale with more than one sold.
