Arrogate filly sells for $1 million at Fasig-Tipton 2-year-olds sale

A $ million Arrogate filly topped the final session of Fasig-Tipton's 2023 Midlantic May 2-year-olds in training held Tuesday evening in Timonium, Md., marking the eighth consecutive year that a seven-figure horse has been sold at this sale.

Kerri Radcliffe, agent, purchased the session- and sale-topping Arrogate filly, hip 552, for $1 million from the consignment of Hartley/de Renzo Thoroughbreds, agent. The chestnut filly worked an eighth in 10.0 seconds during the Thursday session of last week’s under tack-show.

Out of the winning Mutakddim mare Twixy, Hip 552 is a half-sister to four winners, including multiple stakes winner Twixy Roll (Roll Hennessy Roll). Her dam is a half-sister to the dam of multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire and Breeders’ Cup champion Caleb’s Posse.

A filly from the first returning U.S. crop of Take Charge Indy, hip 361, commanded the day’s second-highest price when sold for $510,000 to Jeff Mackor, agent for Gus King, from the consignment of De Meric Sales, agent.

The dark bay or brown filly worked an eighth in 10.0 seconds during the Wednesday session of the under-tack show. Hip 361 is a full or half-sister to eight winners out of the stakes-placed Songandaprayer mare Perfect Paula, who produced Take Charge Indy’s graded stakes-winning filly Take Charge Paula.
