Perennial leading buyer Donato Lanni, agent for SF/Starlight/Madaket, signed for a quartet of yearlings Sept. 17, led by the $799,000 Candy Ride colt (Hip 1791). The chestnut, named Musical, was consigned by Bridie Harrison, agent for Peter E. Blum Thoroughbreds to Book 3 of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. The Lexington-based agent’s four purchases on Day 6 for gross figures of $1,820,000 landed him as the session-leading buyer.
Over the past six sessions, the partnership of SF/Starlight/Madaket, with Lanni signing, has made 19 purchases for receipts of $11,890,000, at an average of $625,789 to be the sales leading buyer.
