Skims | Keeneland

Andrew Rosen's Skims (GB) (Frankel {GB}) became the first to achieve a seven-figure pricetag as Book 1 of the Keeneland November hit its midpoint Wednesday afternoon in Lexington, hammering to Summer Wind Equine's Jane Lyon for $1.8 million. Consigned to the sale as hip 125 by Bluegrass Thoroughbred Services, agent, the 4-year-old raced as a homebred for Rosen and was conditioned by Shug McGaughey to four wins from her 14 career starts, highlighted by a victory in the GII Sands Point S. as a 3-year-old in 2022. A Belmont allowance winner this past June, the half-sister to GSW War Decree (War Front) was also runner-up to Canadian Horse of the Year and recent GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf third-place finisher Moira (Ghostzapper) in the GII Canadian S. Sept. 9. Moira sold for $3 million at Fasig-Tipton Tuesday evening.
