Before the Under Tack Show for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale at Timonium commenced June 24, consignor Cary Frommer had this to say about her Maryland-bred Upstart filly: “She’s my brightest star.”
Frommer seems to have hit the nail on the head, as the dark bay or brown miss, Hip 173, went out and worked a sparkling eighth of a mile in 10.0, one of only a dozen juveniles to record that time.
Bred by Dark Hollow Farm, the filly is out of the Pure Prize mare Plum, herself a 2-year-old stakes winner of the Maryland Juvenile Filly Championship Stakes. Plum is also the dam of 3-year-old Toy, who since the catalog was published recorded his second win of the year and pushed his career earnings to $89,790.
Other hips to watch as the sale gets underway Monday and Tuesday at 11 a.m. include:
- Hip 50 – Grassroots Training & Sales is offering this Pennsylvania-bred daughter of Uptowncharlybrown-Its My Town, who stepped an eighth of a mile in 10.1. She’s the first foal out of the winning Cowtown Cat mare Its My Town and is one of the first Uptowncharlybrown’s to be offered at a 2-year-olds in training sale.
- Hip 151 – By top young sire Liam’s Map, this gray colt was one of the stars of the first Under Tack session, sizzling a quarter-mile in 20.4 for consignor All Dreams Equine, agent. His dam One Foxy Grey, by Big Brown, is out of Grade 1 winner Irish Smoke (by Smoke Glacken) and is a half-sister to stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Pole Sitter ($190,010).
- Hip 286 – This chestnut daughter of Maryland sire Bourbon Courage, named Bourbon on Sunday, turned heads at the second session of the Under Tack show with a flashy quarter-mile move in 21.1. Consigned by Naoise Agnew’s Nomad Farm Training & Sales LLC, agent, which is based near Penn National, and bred by Dr. Ronald Harris Parker, she is out of the stakes-placed Malibu Moon mare Sunday in Malibu, who is also the dam of stakes-placed Faze the Nation, who has earned $226,295. All five of Sunday in Malibu’s offspring to race are winners.
- Hip 359 – From the same family as Hip 389 comes this Maryland-bred dark bay or brown filly by Twirling Candy out of Who’s Cozy, who worked an eighth in 10.1. Her dam is a graded stakes-placed daughter of Cozzene, and is also out of the multiple graded stakes winner Who Did it and Run. The filly is a half-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Who’s in Town, as well as stakes-placed Campaign Vows. Like Hip 389, she was bred by Sycamore Hall Thoroughbreds.
- Hip 389 – A Maryland-bred daughter of top sire Twirling Candy offered by David McKathan and Jody Mihalic’s Grassroots Training & Sales, this filly also stopped the teletimer in 10.0 for an eighth of a mile. Her dam, the More Than Ready mare Apple Cider, is out of multiple graded stakes winner Who Did It and Run. Apple Cider is a half-sister to two stakes winners and three stakes producers, and she has two foals to race, both winners. The filly was bred by Sycamore Hall Thoroughbreds, LLC.

The colt is out of the E Dubai mare E Classic, who has produced the stakes-placed E Rated. There is speed in the family as fourth-dam Desireux is a half-sister to champion sprinter Housebuster.
- Hip 552 – This Dialed In-Fall Fantasy miss, who was supplemented to the sale, is a full sister to multiple stakes winner and Grade 1-placed Chalon, who to date has earned $878,895. Chalon ran second in the Gr. 1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint. Bred in Kentucky, the filly worked her eighth of a mile in 10.0, and is consigned by SBM Training and Sales, agent.
