Pacing colts—with 281 sold—were right behind in average at $35,020. The top price in the Wednesday session was the $125,000 bid by trainer Trond Smedshammer for an Andover Hall colt out of CR Savoire Faire, a Lindy Lane half sister to CR Kay Suzie and CR Renegade. Smedshammer bought the colt, named Carthage Hanover (hip 695), for Wanda Poliseni, who races a string a New York Sire Stakes horses out of the Howard Okusko Jr. Stable.
