Starlight Racing partners on a $600,000 Army Mule colt during Day 5 of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, joined by Harrell Ventures and co-breeder St. Elias Stables. The colt was consigned as Hip 1455 by Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa to the Book 3 opening session.
The January-born colt is out of the winning Factor mare, She Beast, who is half sibling to King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) winner The Big Beast . The son of Yes It’s True followed his grade 1 win up with a second-place effort in the Forego Stakes (G1) and Alfred G. Vanderbilt (G1) for Alex and JoAnn Lieblong, who campaigned the colt with trainer Anthony Dutrow to a record of 4-3-1 in 9 efforts.
“Everyone on our team loved him,” Corbin Blumberg, director of racing and bloodstock for Starlight Racing, said. I showed him to Jack (Wolf), and Doug Cauthen looked at him for the Harrells. We bought a horse the other day with St. Elias; they bred this horse and wanted to keep him, so at the last second, they put a partnership together.”
Elevage II and St. Elias Stables bred the colt in Kentucky.
Blumberg added: “This was the first purchase for the group, but we have partnered with each other separately before, so this just came together. I think we had to reach a little bit (on the price), but he’s nice, and it seems like that’s how it’s been going today.”
