Independence Hall Colt Brings $1-Mil on Day 2 at OBS March

Later in Wednesday's session, a colt by Freshman sire Independence Hall realized $1-million from Muir Hut Stables. Offered as Hip 404 as a member of the Eddie Woods consignment, the son of stakes placed Orecchiette (Harlan's Holiday) covered an eighth in :9 4/5 during last week's breeze session.

A $32,000 Keeneland November weanling, the Mar. 8 foal was purchased by Woods's Quarter Pole Enterprises for $165,000 at Fasig-Tipton last July. Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners bred the colt in Kentucky.
