The Champion Sprinter in New Zealand where she won the Group I ARC Railway
Handicap, Bounding was bought by Stonestreet Holdings for $1.9 million at the
2016 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale when she was offered by Willow Park
Stud straight off the track.Sent straight back to North America, the daughter of Lonhro was covered by
Curlin in her first season at stud and that colt has proven a sale ring star
with Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin securing the youngster for $4.1million ($A5.9million).
Between when Stonestreet bought Bounding and now a lot has happened in the pedigree, most notably that Bounding's half-brother Anthony Van Dyck won the Group I Epsom Derby earlier this year and that has made her well worth the money they paid for her and then some.
"He's a very athletic horse, a lovely well balanced horse from a good farm and we liked him very much. He just had wonderful movement and athleticism," said Anthony Stroud acting for Godolphin, who outbid the Coolmore team to secure the star colt.
The sale continues.
