One day after a Lane's End-consigned son of their young sire Quality Road fetched a whopping $710,000 to top the sixth overall session and first of two days of Book 3 bidding at the Keeneland September sale, a Curlin filly from the same draft smashed right through that level and was hammered down for $975,000 Monday in Lexington.
