A colt by Nyquist (hip 88) out of Argentinian champion older mare La Extrana Dama (Arg) was the first horse to cross the seven-figure threshold at the OBS March Sale's opening session Tuesday, bringing a final bid of $1.2-million from a partnership that includes Marquee Bloodstock And Morplay Racing.
Consigned by Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables, the Kentucky-bred colt worked his furlong in a sharp :9 4/5.
Bred by De La Pomme Kentucky Inc, he was initially purchased as a yearling out of the Keeneland September Sale last year for $170,000 by Ange Bloodstock.
