$360,000 colt for Congrats at Barretts 2YO sale

A $360,000 colt by Congrat’s during Wednesday’s Barretts March Select 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale would finish as the third-highest price paid for a colt at the one-day auction.

Cataloged as hip No. 121, the bay juvenile was consigned by Excel Bloodstock and sold to Dennis O’Neill. The colt was bred in Kentucky by Pin Oak Stud.

O’Neill’s purchase is the first foal from the More Than Ready stakes-placed mare Let’s Get Married. The colt’s third dam Wedding Vow is the dam of prolific sire Broken Vow.

Annually a leading North American sire of winners, Congrats’ stellar 2017 sales results include a $1.7 million sales-topper at the recent OBS March Sale. Congrats is standing this year at WinStar Farm for a fee of $200,000 stands and nurses.
