Yearlings by Vinery sires More Than Ready and Congrats sold for $300,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale on Monday night.

The More Than Ready – Haka Girl filly catalogued as Lot 56 was purchased by Stephen Carr.  Her dam is a War Chant winning mare who was also stakes placed at Hollywood Park.

The auctioneer reminded prospective buyers More Than Ready colt Verrazano will be one of the star attractions for the G1 Travers Stakes at Saratoga on August 24.

Congrats equalled that $300,000 price-tag with the penultimate sale (Lot 75) of the evening session.  His filly from K D’s Shady Lady received a major last-minute update when her older half-sister Lady Of Fifty (After Market) won the G1 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar on Saturday.

Agent Todd Quast was the buyer on behalf of Goldmark Farm.

Both Vinery stallions had two yearlings go under the hammer during the first of two sessions on Monday.  A More Than Ready colt from Carriage Trade (Storm Cat) made $250,000 to the bid of agent Becky Thnomas.

The second Congrats, a filly from Cattoo (Storm Cat) fetched $110,000 when purchased by WinStar Farm.

The Saratoga Sale concludes on Tuesday evening with More Than Ready and Congrats represented by another two yearlings each.
