Yaupon continued a strong run for his first crop of yearlings in the sales ring Monday when hip 78 topped the schedule-adjusted Day 1 of the Ocala Breeders' Sale October Yearling Sale. Consigned by Colin Brennan Bloodstock, Agent IX and purchased for $75,000 by Pick View LLC, the Florida-bred colt is a half to a two-time winner in Candy Caramel (Candy Ride {Arg}) and out of a half-sister to MGSW Conveyance (Indian Charlie). Dam Bride Street is also a half to Cashing Tickets (Indian Charlie) who produced GSW Leggs Galore (Bayern) and SP $800,000 yearling Victorious (Into Mischief).
The top-priced filly came late in the session when hip 180, a filly by Vekoma consigned by Abbie Road Farm (Lisa McGreevy), Agent XXVI, sold for $72,000 to Tom McCrocklin, agent. From her sire's second crop, the filly is out of a half to MGSW No Dozing (Union Rags).
