Blandford buy at Fasig-Tipton
THE 2011 yearling sales season began this week at Fasig-Tipton, Saratoga, where Blandford Bloodstock purchased four yearlings.
Lot 156, a striking colt by Giant’s Causeway, was knocked down to Blandford for $550,000. His pedigree is laden with ‘black type’ performers and his dam, Liscanna, was a Group 3 winner in Ireland.
Another purchase to take the eye is lot 42, a filly by the promising Bernardini who sired 2011 Cherry Hinton Stakes winner Gamilati. She cost Blandford $430,000.
Blandford’s other purchases were a colt by Street Boss (lot 11) for $100,000 and another Bernardini filly (lot 28) for $300,000.

28. F Bernardini/ Remember – $300,000
42. F Bernardini/ Silver Impulse – $430,000
