Songbird's Half-Sis to the Fore at Saratoga

Hip 61, a Hill 'n' Dale Sales-consigned daughter of Ghostzapper–Ivanavinalot (West Acre) and therefore a half-sister to undefeated champion Songbird (Medaglia d'Oro) was sold to Tom and Paula Haughey's PTK LLC for $800,000 to take the lead at the midway mark of the first of two sessions of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale Monday in upstate New York. The dark bay filly was bred in Kentucky by John Antonelli, and in addition to Songbird, is kin to Wide Range (Mineshaft), the dam of GSW Mico Margarita (Run Away and Hide).
