With the Keeneland September Sale waiting for a yearling to hit the million-dollar mark, a colt from American Pharoah's first crop exceeded that by hammering Monday for $2.2 million, the highest price for a horse this year at U.S. auction.

 

Consigned as Hip 91 in Book 1’s first session, the chestnut colt also proved a successful pinhook for selling agent Peter O’Callaghan of Wood Edge Farm. O’Callaghan also purchased the then weanling for his Cavalier Bloodstock at the Keeneland November Sale, going to $400,000.
