Baffert and Lanni Go Big for 'Quality' Filly

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert and agent Donato Lanni, acting on behalf of an undisclosed client, added a big-ticket item to his future roster when stretching to $1.8 million to land a Quality Road half-sister to GI Spinaway S. heroine Sweet Loretta (Tapit) late in the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga session Tuesday. The May 4 foal was consigned by Lane's End as hip 213 and bred by Mt Brilliant Farm & Ranch and W. S. Farish. Her dam was a $2.2-million KEENOV '16 purchase (in foal to Constitution) by Greg Goodman's Mt Brilliant.
