FOR the second year running a son of Flatter topped the Fasig-Tipton July Sale, held last Tuesday week in Lexington, Kentucky.

China Horse Club and Maverick Racing partnered to pay $440,000 for the sale topping colt out of the stakes-placed Ruth And Neva. The dam is a half-sister to graded stakes winner Sassy Sienna and from the immediate family of champion Silvestro and Group 1 winner Romildo. “I’d say we’re happy,” said vendor Indian Creek’s Shack Parrish. “We knew he was nice; he did really well.”
