Later in Wednesday's session, a colt by Freshman sire Independence Hall realized $1-million from Muir Hut Stables. Offered as Hip 404 as a member of the Eddie Woods consignment, the son of stakes placed Orecchiette (Harlan's Holiday) covered an eighth in :9 4/5 during last week's breeze session.
A $32,000 Keeneland November weanling, the Mar. 8 foal was purchased by Woods's Quarter Pole Enterprises for $165,000 at Fasig-Tipton last July. Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners bred the colt in Kentucky.
"We just thought he was an athlete." We have our first 7-figure baby of Day 2 at #OBSMarch with Hip 404, by Independence Hall, selling for $1 million to JPM Bloodstock from the consignment of @eddiewoods2yos. Will head to trainer Mark Glatt. (OBS Photo/Penelope P. Miller) pic.twitter.com/bKNIhic0dM
