Purchasing as Z Zhijun, HEBEI PROVINCE CHINA, they added her to their growing haul from this sale and provided a great result for Sledmere Stud, who offered the mare on behalf of her owner Terry Jarvis.

Coco Sun was bought for $250,000 as a yearling at Inglis Classic by McEvoy Mitchell Racing / Belmont Bloodstock (FBAA) from the Tyreel Stud draft and was trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy.
