Ten On Offer for DRAIN THE CLOCK at Keeneland January

DRAIN THE CLOCK is set to have 10 representatives at this year’s Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale as buyers get a chance to secure horses from the Grade 1 winner’s first crop.

His first through the ring is the Sally Thomas-offered Hip 501 during the second session.

Born in early March, the filly is the first foal out of five-time winner World Party. That mare comes from a strong producing family that sees stakes winners throughout the generations. Her own dam produced stakes winner and Grade 1 placed Grand Mo The First and stakes performer Palladium and it just gets better from there.

This filly’s third dam is the stakes winning Wildwood Flower, who produced Grade 1 winner Materiality and Grade 2 winner and multiple Grade 1 placed My Miss Sophia. Still a young mare, My Miss Sophia has went on to produce Grade 1 winner Annapolis and stakes placed Nevisian Sunrise from her four foals. Another of Wildwood Flower’s daughters is also the dam of last year’s Grade 1 winner Leslie’s Rose. In all, there are five Grade 1 winners or placers on this page.

Hip 971 is the second foal out of a Nyquist half-sister to Grade 1 winner The Big Beast and is offered by Burleson Farms.

Big Carat’s seven other winning siblings include the stakes placed Koh I Noor with V V S Flawless producing eight winners from her nine to race overall. The mare is a fifth-generation stakes producer with all but one of those mares producing stakes winners. Those named on this yearling’s page include Grade 3 winner Sitcksstatelydude and three-time stakes winner Swing And Sway among the five stakes winners and thee other stakes performers.

Gainesway is the consignor of Hip 1088, a filly out of winning Outwork mare Hitech Is Back bred by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners.

Out of the stakes winner Hitechnoweenie, Hitech Is Back is a half-sister to the Grade 2 winner Tonalist’s Shape and TAPIT’s stakes winner Pure Majestic. Hitechnoweenie is following a family tradition that sees each mare on the page with at least one stakes winner and even more stakes winners just off the page. Hitech Is Back’s first two dams also win stakes as well as producing stakes winners with her fourth dam winning two races before producing two stakes winners.

Stakes winner Into Reality is the dam of Hip 1096, a Grovendale Sales-offered half-sister to six winners. Into Reality has produced eight runners overall with her six winners led by stakes winner Meadowood as one of six stakes producers on the page. Those stakes producers have produced six stakes winners with one other stakes performers to show this filly’s potential as both a blacktype earner and producer.

Hip 1123 is offered by Mulholland Springs out of the Midnight Lute mare La Bomba.

That mare is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Golden Ticket and stakes placed Carlito’s Dream among the runners out of Deputy Minister mare Business Plan. Business Plan was carrying a family tradition as one of three stakes winners out of Grade 3 winner Good Mood, who also produced two stakes performers herself. Those produced by Good Mood’s daughters include Grade 2 winner Magical Feeling and stakes winner Sterling Outlook.

Good Mood’s granddaughters and great-granddaughters also produced their own blacktype earners. Grade 1 winner Dream Tree joins Golden Ticket as the top two performers of the 13 stakes performers listed under the two dams with racing age foals on this page.

DRAIN THE CLOCK’s offerings all come on Tuesday and Wednesday during the three-session sale.
