Pinehurst has been purchased by a domestic farm which will announce in due time,” Tom Ryan of SF Bloodstock told BloodHorse Nov. 22 after the Fasig-Tipton Pinehurst Flash Sale concluded. The final price was not named, along with the purchaser for the 3-year-old son of Twirling Candy , a grade 1 winner who has earned more than $1.2 million in seven starts with a record of 3-1-0. Agent Donato Lanni, purchasing on behalf of SF/Starlight/Madaket, sourced the colt out of the Giant’s Causeway mare Giant Win from the Woods Edge Farm consignment at the Keeneland September Sale for $385,000. “A transaction of this magnitude gives the Fasig-Tipton online platform serious credibility; we now have a realistic avenue to trade high-end racing and breeding stock to a global market with a few days’ notice,” Ryan said.
