Constitution got the 2023 Spring Sale of 2-year-olds in Training off to a rousing start when hip No. 19 sold for $500,000 to Cherie De Vaux, Agent for Belladonna Racing V.
“We are here to buy athletes,” said Belladonna’s Paul Manganaro. “I thought he was a great representation of [Constitution]. He was elegant and had a great presence and his breeze met up to our criteria.”
Out of Brazilian Group 3-placed mare Allez Marie, the chestnut colt is a half-brother to stakes winner Workaholic and graded stakes-placed Tomato Bill. The colt’s second dam is 2005 Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Summerly.
“He also has a great pedigree–it’s everything we are looking for,” Manganaro added. “With his looks and pedigree, he has stallion potential if he were to win a graded stakes.”
Constitution, who stands for $110,000 in 2023, is having another excellent year with a five stakes winners to date.
