A Nyquist colt (hip 28) who breezed a bullet furlong in :9 4/5 at Gulfstream Monday was popular as expected in the track's paddock on Wednesday, bringing $2.6 million early in the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale from agent Jamie McCalmont, acting on behalf of Coolmore's M.V. Magnier. Consigned by Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables, Inc., the Feb. 4 foal was a $160,000 Fasig-Tipton Select Showcase buy. His third dam is GISW Victory Ride (Seeking the Gold). Coolmore bought the Gulfstream sale's top two lots in 2019, including $3.65-million Cezanne (Curlin).
The next horse through the ring, also a Nyquist colt (hip 29), went for $900,000 to Spendthrift Farm and West Point Thoroughbreds. A :10 2/5 breezer, the $400,000 KEESEP yearling was consigned by Eddie Woods, agent for complete dispersal of the estate of Paul Pompa, Jr.
