DRAIN THE CLOCK Leads Way With Fasig-Tipton Yearling Offerings

DRAIN THE CLOCK is starting the yearling sales season with a bang at Fasig-Tipton July, having by far the most yearlings cataloged in the sale of any sire with 14 set to go through the ring.

Those 14 yearlings come to the sale with a lot of stakes power behind them. Two of the offerings are half-siblings to stakes winners and six other yearlings are out of half or full sisters to stakes performers with two others seeing their granddams earning blacktype.

Legacy Bloodstock is the consignor of Hip 39, a February-born colt out of the stakes winning Andreya’s Reward.

Bred by Tommy Wente Jr., the colt’s dam is one of 17 stakes winners on the page and one of 10 winners out of her own dam alone. That unraced dam is a full sister to stakes winner and Grade 1 placed Cool Ashlee, who produced a stakes winner in Sea Ruler and the dam of another stakes winner.

Each of this colt’s first nine dams have either placed in a stakes or are stakes producers with five producing stakes winners.

Breeder Forbush Farm offers a half-sister to stakes winner He’smyhoneybadger as Hip 83.

Their dam Majestic Miss has gone a perfect three-for-three on producing winners from her runners with He’smyhoneybadger leading the charge with nine wins. Majestic Miss is a half-sister to four winners – including 6-time winner Princesa Nathalia – out of the stakes placed Ice Storm Coming. In all, three of the dams on the filly’s page produced stakes performers with the only one not to produce a stakes horse placing in a stakes herself.

Majestic Miss returned to the Gainesway breeding shed after foaling this filly, giving birth to a MCKINZIE colt in March.

A daughter of the Grade 1-placed Colonel Joan is the dam of Hip 237, a colt offered by EquiClear Stables.

The colt’s dam in the unraced Will Take Charge mare Kipley, whose first foal has won twice since the catalog was released with this being her second foal. Colonel Joan is the dam of two winners from three to race and is a half-sister to eight-time winner Malisa and five-time winner Life In Flash as well.

Three of this colt’s first foal dams have either won or placed in a stakes or produced a stakes placed runner with fourth dam Makethemostofit winning and placing in multiple stakes.

DRAIN THE CLOCK’s last yearling through the ring is a Paramount Sales-consigned colt out of Minstrel Show selling as Hip 251.

The colt’s dam is a prolific producer with 10 of her 12 runners visiting the winner’s circle. Included in that group is the stakes winning Beliveau and multiple stakes placed Super Colerosa with those two winning nine races between them. Minstrel Show is far from the only productive mare on the page with her dam producing two stakes performers as well. The best of those is the Grade 3 winning Bidding Proud, who registered 11 wins including five stakes and placed in eight others.

Minstrel Show’s half-sister Beautiful Moment not only placed in a stakes but also produced Grade 3 winner Henny Hound and the stakes placed duo of Saturday Hero and Beautiful Treasure – that one producing two stakes performers of her own.

Under the colt’s first two dams alone are nine stakes performers with three winning stakes with those two dams producing 17 winners between them.

The one-day Fasig-Tipton July Sale starts at 10:00a.m. ET in Lexington, Kentucky.
