Mark Smith - Thursday Nov 10

Craig Rounsefell’s Boomer Bloodstock and Newgate Farm were back in action, and the first strike for Sheamus Mills highlighted the Aussie action on Day 3 at Keeneland.

Lot 679 Cantata (Medaglia d’Oro x Stoweshoe by Flatter) Boomer Bloodstock $300,000.

Sold with a positive test to leading sire Munnings, Cantata is a twice-winning daughter of a stakes-winner sister to Gr1 Humana Distaff Stakes winner Taris and half-sister to stakes-winner Theatre Star (War Front).
