M. V. Magnier Snaps Up Uncle Mo Colt For $1.35M

M.V. Magnier stretched to $1.35 million to acquire hip 130, a colt by Uncle Mo–Forever for Now (War Front) as the first day of trade at the Keeneland September Sale rolled on Monday afternoon. The Feb. 7-foaled bay was consigned to the sale by Penn Sales, agent for Bar C Racing Stables and is out of an unraced half-sister to the Irish Group 3-placed Carlisle Bay (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) who was purchased by Pam Christopherson for $210,000 with the Uncle Mo colt in utero at the 2021 Keeneland November Sale. This also represents the extended female family of the late Galileo (Ire) and Sea The Stars (Ire).
