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 807 Lady Lilly (Nyquist x Miss Inclined by Pulpit) Sheamus Mills Bloodstock $250,000.

A winner at Saratoga at two, Lady Lily was third in the Gr1 Spinaway Stakes behind fellow Nyquist filly Vequist who would go on to win the 2020 Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Keeneland.

A daughter of the stakes-placed Miss Inclined, Lady Lilly is a half-sister to Hollis (Street Sense) a stakes-winner of 12 races and over $645,000.
