CRK Stables Strikes for $1.3M Tapit Half to Drain the Clock

The third day at Keeneland's September sale, the first of two Book 2 sessions, kicked off with a bang Wednesday when April Mayberry signed for a Tapit colt to the tune of $1.3 million before the first hour had passed. Consigned by Gainesway as hip 413, the gray colt is out of the placed Manki (Arch). The mare has already produced GI Woody Stephens Stakes winner Drain the Clock (Maclean's Music), a young stallion who has his first yearlings this year and stands alongside Tapit at Gainesway.

Bred by Nick Cosato and Tapit Syndicate in Kentucky, hip 413 is also a half-brother to MGSP Corposo (Vino Rosso). Mayberry signed the ticket for Lee Searing's CRK Stables.
