One of the most anticipated yearlings to grace the ring Monday evening in Fasig-Tipton Saratoga's opening session was Hip 57, a half-brother to breakout first-crop sire star Complexity by popular and well-supported first-year yearling stallion Charlatan. He didn't disappoint, hammering for $1.5 million to John Stewart's Resolute Bloodstock, who had made no secret of his desire to purchase the colt over the weekend. Consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent for Stonestreet Bred & Raised, the chestnut colt is also a half to 2018 GIII Doubledogdare Stakes winner and 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up Valadorna (Curlin). The son of the unraced Goldfield (Yes It's True), a ridgling, is a Feb. 22 colt and was bred in Kentucky by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings. The colt was among those featured Sunday in a TDN feature on Warrendale's consignment.
