COOLMORE Stud invested almost $18 million in four broodmares at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale in Lexington, Kentucky, on Sunday.

For the second consecutive year, the single-session sale generated over $100 million in spending. There were 31 horses sold for $1 million or more, including 10 which sold for $2 million or more.

Champion racemare Gamine, offered carrying her first foal by Quality Road, topped the sale when sold for $7 million to Coolmore’s M.V. Magnier.

A five-year-old daughter of three-time leading sire Into Mischief, Gamine set records on and off the track. In May of 2019, Gamine set a then-record for most expensive two-year-old thoroughbred sold at public auction in the state of Maryland when sold for $1.8 million at the Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training sale.

Eighteen months later, she blazed a new track record in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, covering seven furlongs in 1:20.20 to defeat older fillies and mares by six and a quarter lengths.

A nine-time winner in 11 career starts, Gamine scored seven times in graded stakes company.

Coolmore also paid $5 million for international Group 1 winner Campanelle.

A four-year-old daughter of Kodiac, Campanelle won the Prix Morny in France at two and scored in the Queen Mary Stakes that year at Royal Ascot.

Last year, she won the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and this year she added the Grade 3 Ladies Sprint at Kentucky Downs to her resume.

M.V. Magnier secured multiple Grade 1 winner Bellafina, in foal to Tiz The Law, for $4 million. Coolmore was already a part-owner of the six-year-old daughter of Quality Road.

Trained by Simon Callaghan, she was a multiple Grade 1 winner at two and carried her form at three, winning the Santa Anita Oaks by nearly six lengths.

Donna Veloce, a five-year-old mare by Uncle Mo, was also part-owned by Coolmore when trained by Simon Callaghan and she was bought outright by Coolmore for $1.9 million.

This five-year-old mare won at Grade 3 level and she was only beaten by a neck in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. She too is in foal to Tiz The Law.

Another notable transaction was the sale of Kentucky Oaks winner Shedaresthedevil for $5 million to Mandy Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm, who already had a share in the five-year-old daughter of Daredevil.
