Buck Pond Tops September 19th Session At Keeneland Yearling Sale
Buck Pond Farm bred, raised and sold the sale topper at the Friday, September 19th session of the 2008 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Doug Arnold’s homebred colt by Bernstein out of Sparkler, by Carson City went through the ring as Hip No. 3803 and brought the hammer down at $195,000 to Gulf Coast Farm.

Mr. Arnold has continued to support the stallion. The colt's dam, Sparkler, is a half-sister to SOFTLY-G2 and current Grade 3 winner CORAGIL CAT (Forest Wildcat), who set a new track record on Arlington Park's Polytrack prior to his three-length score in the May 24 Hanshin Cup H.-G3. This is the family of Grade 3 scorers CITY ATTRACTION and HOLD OLD BLUE, Grade 3 heroine and stakes producer TIL FORBID, stakes winers and Grade 3 placed filly COOLWING (Forest Wildcat) and promising two-year-old Herr Mozart (Mr. Greeley), third in the August 29 With Anticipation S. in his career debut at Saratoga. Sparkler has a 2008 colt by Forest Wildcat and is back in foal to Johannesburg, the sire of her first foal, Innovative. Innovative, a $290,000 Keeneland September Yearling last year, has already broken her maiden and is in training with Graham Motion.
