Consigned by Francis and Barbara Vanlangendonck’s Summerfield and bred in Florida by George and Karen Russell’s Rustlewood Farm in Reddick, the bay colt is the first foal out of the multiple stakes-winning Star Guitar mare Star Moment, a half-sister to Fools Gold, winner of the Grade 3 Fasig-Tipton Waya at Saratoga Race Course in 2019. Summerfield as an agent for Rustlewood Farm purchased Star Moment in foal to Flightline for $250,000 at last year’s Keeneland November Sale.
Hip 1466, a Florida-bred colt by Justify out of the Curlin mare Leslie’s Harmony sold for $235,000 to Dennis O’Neill. Bred by John and Leslie Malone’s Bridlewood Farm located in Ocala, Floirda and consigned by Gainesway as agent, the colt is a half-brother to Florida-bred Scotland Yard, a champion miler in Saudi Arabia and earner of $1.2 million.
Leslie’s Harmony is a half-sister to seven-time champion sire Into Mischief, four-time champion Beholder, a earner of $6.1 million; and multiple Grade 1 winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) Mendelssohn. Purchased by Bridlewood for $1.1 million out of the 2014 Keeneland September Sale, Leslie’s Harmony has produced four winners from six starters and 10 foals.

Her 2-year-old colt by Epicenter, Florida-bred Waterfront, also sold for $200,000 at the Keeneland September Sale last year.
Southern Girl was purchased by Bridlewood for $820,000 at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Mixed Sale.
A Florida-bred colt by McKinzie and a half-brother to Grade 3-placed and multiple stakes-winning Florida-bred Tessellate brought $170,000 on a final bid by Lucan Bloodstock.
