Opening day at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale proved to be a good day for the Stone Farm team. Homebreds went through the ring, one after another, and generated some excitement.  Hip 97, a colt by Quality Road, brought $620,000, and he was followed immediately by Hip 98, a full sister to a Champion Air Force Blue, who brought a final bid of $1.05 million.

Hip 97 was purchased by Donato Lanni on behalf of SF/Starlight/Madaket and Hip 98, a daughter of War Front out of the Maria’s Mon mare Chatham, was purchased by Mike Ryan.
