Atlanta's Sister Sells For Six Figures
The two-year-old half sister to the sensational trotting filly Atlanta 3,1:50.3, winner of this year’s Hambletonian, sold at auction today and it took a six-figure bid to secure her.
After spirited bidding, Columbia was haltered by Hanover Shoe Farms of Pennsylvania for $127,000. The auction was hosted by onGait.com for seller William Donovan.
The freshman daughter of Muscle Massive is only the second foal from the Cantab Hall mare, Hemi Blue Chip. She was winless in two starts for trainer Ron Burke but has a qualifying mark of 2:02.2f, taken on August 9 at The Meadows.
