Only two days after winning the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1), the Gainesway-offered Shisospicy was the second most expensive offering of the Fasig-Tipton November Sale.
Purchased by co-owner Morplay Racing for $5.2 million, she was also the most expensive racing/broodmare prospect of the sale when selling just past the midway point. The 3-year-old has had an excellent 2025 with five wins this season also including the Music City S. (G2), Mamzelle S. (G3), and Limestone S. It followed up a third in her second start as a juvenile.
The filly was one of nine sold by Gainesway at the sale with the average coming in at $1,610,556 and a gross total of $14.495 million.
Second most expensive was another horse with a Breeders’ Cup update when Hugo Lascelles paid $3 million for Summer Sweet.
That mare has already proven to be an excellent broodmare as the dam of five-time Grade 1 winner She Feels Pretty. She Feels Pretty was close to adding a sixth Grade 1 win when second in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1) on Saturday to end her season. Summer Sweet also saw her 2-year-old register a second victory after the catalog was released to give her two major updates post-sale.
The mare’s Justify weanling was another purchase by Lascelles from Gainesway when the agent went to $800,000 to purchase her. That $800,000 was the top price paid for a weanling at this year’s sale.
Seismic Beauty rounded out the top three for Gainesway when Killora and Linton purchased her for $2.5 million for Boyd Racing.
A Grade 1 winner, Seismic Beauty has three wins overall this year, including two in stakes company. Her record sat at four wins, two seconds, and a third in eight starts when she went through the ring. Selling as a racing or broodmare prospect, the Maryland-bred Uncle Mo filly is out of the stakes placed Knarsdale. She is the best runner on the page, but that page does include 22 stakes performers overall.
The fourth million dollar offering for Gainesway was the Don Alberto-purchased Sabatini, who brought $1.35 million.
Another Uncle Mo daughter, the royally bred mare in foal to Gun Runner was a two-time stakes winner at three with a stakes runner-up placing as well. She is very closely related to Nyquist, hailing from his half-sister Gabriellestoblame with the champion and Kentucky Derby (G1) winner also by Uncle Mo. This family also includes Grade 1 winners Sahara Sky and Bachelor Beau among others.
Gainesway now moves to Keeneland November where it has 171 horses consigned before outs.
