$800,000 Scat Daddy Filly Sold by Australians

Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 2
A trip to the US last year by leading Sydney trainer Gerald Ryan and Australian bloodstock identities Damion Flower and Craig Anderson paid handsome dividends at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale for two year-olds in Florida earlier today.

$800,000 Scat Daddy filly from Me and Miss JonesWhen visiting the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale last year the trio set out to buy a colt and a filly with the view to racing them in the US, but ended up only coming away with a filly after spending all of their budget on her.

Jadeskye Racing paid $285,000 for the Scat Daddy filly from Me and Miss Jones and that filly created a considerable windfall for her owners when fetching $800,000 at the sale today.

Consigned for sale by Niall Brennan Stables, the filly galloped a furlong in 10.2 seconds and was expected to make somewhere in the region of $400,000, so her final price has exceeded all expectation.

From the second last crop of foals by ill-fated Scat Daddy, the filly was bought by Kerri Radcliffe and is from an unraced daughter of Group III winner Forest Heiress.
