Bloodstock agent Donato Lanni signed the ticket on a Mo Town colt (hip 299) for $1.05-million early in Wednesday's second session at OBS March.
“Beautiful, beautiful horse,” Lanni said after signing on behalf of Baoma Corp. “Breezed exceptional. Beautiful breeze. He came out of it really well. I think that's the toughest thing on these young horses, to come out of those breezes. He's going to go to Bob [Baffert], bought him for Baoma Corp. They've been very lucky here over the years, so glad we got him.”
The colt, out of the Into Mischief Reckon, worked a quarter-mile in a sharp :20 2/5.
He was bred in Kentucky by William Lussky and consigned Wednesday by Hoppel LLC, Agent V.
Hip 299 was initially purchased as a weanling at Keeneland in November 2024 for just $40,000.
