Great Terrible, a son of The Great Day (Harlan's Holiday), claimed top honors at the latest edition of the Haras Firmamento Gran Venta Primavera, the flagship sale of Juan Carlos Bagó’s stud, held Thursday last week at the Villa Elisa Tattersall under the management of Antonio Bullrich SA.
Cataloged as number 5 and born October 15, 2023, the bay colt was purchased for US$32,000 by Stud Mayflower. He is the second foal in the country out of the stakes-placed Oh So Terrible (Cape Blanco), herself a daughter of the formidable Miss Terrible (Numerous), a multiple champion in Argentina and a Grade 1 winner in the United States.
The second-highest-priced lot featured a three-way tie, beginning with Tordo Rim, catalog number 2 and a son of Remote (Dansili), currently ranked third among national sires. The gray colt, whose name reflects his color, fetched US$25,000, purchased by Juan Sebastián Maldotti on commission. Born October 22, he is out of the stakes-winning Gringa Torda (Harlan's Holiday) and a maternal sibling to Gringo Guerrero (War Command), winner of the Clásico Gendarmería Nacional Argentina, descending from the family of G1 winner Tuozzo (Ringaro) and Rider Stripes(Candy Stripes), among other notable horses.
Also sold for US$25,000 was Reward Rin (Remote–Reward Sweet, by Grand Reward), acquired by Stud Agua Quieta, sharing the same pedigree as Tordo Rim, as their dams are maternal sisters.
Rounding out the tie for the second-highest price was Roy Rim (Remote–Royal Allie, by Val Royal), a full sibling to multiple G1-placed Royal Rimout, who will remain with the same trainer, Hugo Pérez.
In total, the 29 lots sold for US$408,200, averaging US$14,075 per horse, with a median price of US$13,216.
