The session’s second-highest price also was for a horse by Deep Impact and is the first foal out of Grade 1 winner Persistently. Takaya Shimawaka purchased the colt, also consigned by Northern Farm, for $1,684,240. Persistently, by Deputy Minister, took the Grade 1 Frizette and Grade 2 Matron at Belmont in 2008. She is out of champion and eight-time Grade 1 winner Heavenly Prizeis and is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner and sire Good Reward and Grade 2 winner and sire Pure Prize as well as stakes winner Cosmic. The catalog page is replete with other Grade 1 winners, including Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Dancing Spree, Furlough, Fantastic Find, Dancing Forever, and Oh What a Windfall.
