It’s Like Christmas in November... Aisling Duignan handled bidding duties for Team Coolmore on Christmas Kid (hip 78) and, after the Irishwoman signed the session-topping ticket at $4.2 million, David Nagle joked, ADid you enjoy that?@ Reiley McDonald, bidding on the phone from the back row of the sales pavilion, was the underbidder. Duignan confirmed the 7-year-old mare, in foal to Bernardini, will head to Ireland. AShe=ll most likely go Aisling Duignan Keeneland Photo home to [be bred to Coolmore stallion] Galileo (Ire),@ Duignan said. Christmas Kid captured the GI Ashland S. over Keeneland=s Polytrack in 2007 and won the GII Davona Dale S. over conventional dirt. She also triumphed in the Tropical Park Oaks and was third in the Virginia Oaks over the turf. She was proceded into the Keeneland sales ring by her first foal, a weanling colt by Elusive Quality, who brought a final bid of $525,000 from Tim Hyde. Duignan said the mare=s race record and her attractive weanling contributed to the purchase. AShe was good herself, her first foal was really good, and she=s magnificent looking,@ Duignan said. AIt seemed the prudent thing to do.@ Of the price, Duignan added, AIt was probably a little bit more than we expected, but she was so good looking. When a mare gets a good first foal like that, you have to pay attention.@ Christmas Kid=s popularity was no surprise to Chris Baker. AShe really speaks for herself,@ the Spring Hill manager said. AShe was an exceptional racemare--very genuine and a stakes winner on Chris Baker Keeneland Photo dirt, turf and Poly--a Grade I winner on Poly. It is just quality. You look at her and the quality comes through. She had it in her first foal and she had it herself.

No wonder she is shining on turf, having also won the GI Alcibiades on all-weather. It is well worth adding that Holiday For Kitten is inbred 3x3 to Lear Fan, whereas Big Blue Kitten and Suntracer are others inbred 4x4 to Roberto. This is clearly a strategy worthy of further exploration. Bail Out Becky, in turn, was a half-sister to the dam of More Than Ready, who has enjoyed Breeders= Cup success on turf with Pluck, More Than Real and Regally Ready. This is also the family of the Grade I dirt winners Seldom Seen Sue, Cutlass Reality and Ten Most Wanted, so it will be interesting to see how Stephanie=s Kitten fares if and when she is tried on the main track.
