 Exciting Keeneland November sale forecast for Lantern Hill October 03, 2007 Ashley Hall (pictured at right), a half-sister to Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1) winner Bandini, who is carrying her first foal by Bandini’s sire, Fusaichi Pegasus, is among the six broodmares and eight weanlings Lantern Hill Farm has consigned to the 2007 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Keeneland’s world-famous November sale features a record 5,415 entries, and will occur November 5-19 in Lexington, Kentucky.
“Ashley Hall represents a rare opportunity to buy into one of today's most consistently successful families,” said Lantern Hill owner/general manager, Suzi Shoemaker. “She is a scopey gray daughter of the late Maria's Mon, and her two year old half sister, My Mammy (by Came Home), won her first start and placed third in Belmont’s Astoria Stakes from just two starts. My Mammy races for her owner/breeder, Smitten Farm, and will likely be even better next year at three. ”
Ashley Hall is out of the Dixieland Band mare Divine Dixie, who Lantern Hill sold for $2 million at the 2005 Fasig-Tipton November Selected Mixed Sale. Her second dam, Hail Atlantis, produced leading sire Stormy Atlantic, and her fourth dam is the legendary Moccasin.
Lantern Hill has eight colts and fillies to offer at the sale, all of whom were foaled and raised at the farm. There are especially nice individuals by freshman sires Forest Danger, Lion Heart, Limehouse, Pollard's Vision and Grand Reward, plus a handsome Tiznow half-brother to Your Round (by Distorted Humor), who won his first start at two in 2007 and placed in the Summer Stakes (Can-G3) from just two starts.
