War Front Colt Brings $1.9 Million at KEESEP

Hip 27, a colt by War Front out of the two-time Grade I-winning mare Iotapa (Afleet Alex), set an early high bar at the Monday Book 1 session of Keeneland September sale, hammering for $1.9 million. Donato Lanni signed the ticket for the colt, who is his dam's first foal. Iotapa was acquired by the colt's breeder, China Horse Club, for $2.8 million at the 2014 Keeneland November sale after the conclusion of her racing career.
