Blue Sky Stables Goes to $380,000 for First-Crop City of Light Colt

Hip 82, a colt from the first crop of City of Light, sold for $380,000 at The November Sale. The gray or roan weanling was purchased by Blue Sky Stables from the consignment of Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent for Watercress Farm.

A son of Quality Road, City of Light won Grade 1 stakes at 7, 8, and 9 furlongs, including the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1), Pegasus World Cup Invitational S. (G1), Triple Bend S. (G1), and Malibu S.(G1), and earned $5,662,600. His first foals are weanlings this year.

This colt is out of Stormy Rhapsody, a daughter of successful broodmare sire Unbridled's Song. That mare has produced two winners to date, including stakes placed Arkaan (Into Mischief). Stormy Rhapsody is a half-sister to four winners, including graded stakes winner Castaway. The immediate family includes Grade 1 winners Al Mamoon, La Gueriere, and Icon Project, as well as multiple Grade 2 winning millionaire Master Command.

Hip 82 was bred in Kentucky by Fred W. Hertrich III & John D. Fielding.
