John Oxley's Grade I winners Pretty City Dancer (Tapit–Pretty City, by Carson City) and La Coronel (Colonel John–Listen, by Chester House) will be offered through the Taylor Made consignment at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale Nov. 4.
“I've had so much fun at the yearling auctions the past few years that I felt it was time to generate some revenue to reinvest in the yearling market,” Oxley said. “It was not an easy decision for me, but I am very excited about the future of our stable.”
The 4-year-old Pretty City Dancer, an $825,000 KEESEP buy and half-sister to GISW Lear's Princess (Lear Fan), is carrying her first foal by Medaglia d'Oro. The Mark Casse pupil captured the 2016 Debutante S. at Churchill Downs and dead-heated in that year's GI Spinaway S. at Saratoga. The gray retired at the end of last term with a record of 11-3-1-1 and earnings of $286,344.
La Coronel, also trained by Casse, was quite a force on the turf, winning the 2016 GIII Jessamine S. off an impressive graduation at Saratoga. The $375,000 OBS April graduate, who worked in 20.4 at that sale, took it to the next level in 2017, capturing the GIII Appalachian S. and GIII Edgewood S. and scoring a career high in the GI QEII Challenge Cup. The 4-year-old made her last start in June and her record stands at 17-5-3-1 with earnings of $838,344.
