In My Heart Tops the Charts at the Vacación Autumn Sale

By Fortify, and a maternal brother to the Gran Premio Jockey Club (G1) winner Imagen de Roma, he was acquired for $33,600 by Hugo Pérez, acting on commission

As expected, In My Heart took the top price at the conclusion of the Haras Vacación Great Autumn Sale, held this Thursday at the San Isidro Racecourse Tattersall and organized by Sales.

A son of the established Fortify and the G1-placed In Mission (Missionary), the maternal brother to Imagen de Roma (Roman Ruler), winner of the Gran Premio Jockey Club (G1), and to the dam of stakes winner Señor Importante (Fortify), was acquired by Hugo Pérez, on commission, for $33,600, divided into 8 fixed installments.

The second-highest price was shared among 3 yearlings: Rey del Fuego (Fortify), Lucky Princess (Fortify), and Buena Imagen (Satono Flag), all reaching $24,800.

The former was purchased by Vladimir Graziano and is out of Reina del Romance (Equal Stripes), a triple winner at Palermo and La Plata and from the family of the unforgettable champion Ráfaga (Pepenador).

Lucky Princess, the most expensive filly of the auction, went to Stud Frondoso. Out of the G2-placed Libratura (Manipulator), she is a maternal sister to Liberto (Hurricane Cat), winner of the Clásico Old Man (G3) in 2025, and to the stakes-placed runner in Uruguay Líder Nato (Hi Happy).

Meanwhile, Buena Imagen brought the same price from the identical buyer. She is the second foal out of Be the One (Hurricane Cat), from the pedigree of G1 winner Beauty Melody (O'Martin) and graded stakes winners Baby Melody (Roy) and Beauty Sea (Seahenge).

The 32 products sold—3 were not sold and one was a noshow—grossed a total of $530,000, yielding an average of $16,563 and a median of $16,145.
