Summer Raven, winner of the 2004 Tempted Stakes (gr. III) and in foal to Unbridled's Song , became the first horse to bring seven figures Nov. 11 during the second session of the Keeneland November breeding stock auction in Lexington. Offered around noon (EST), she sold for $1.7 million to Kentucky bloodstock agent Reynolds Bell.
Part of dispersal of Overbrook Farm, which was founded by the late W.T. Young, Summer Raven was consigned by Eaton Sales. Earlier in the session, Bell had purchased another mare from the Overbrook dispersal, grade II winner Mary Delaney (in foal to Elusive Quality ), for $850,000.
Bell said he was acting on behalf of the same domestic client, whom he declined to identify, when he purchased both Summer Raven and Mary Delaney. The two mares will remain in Kentucky.
NOTE: She is in foal to Winslow Homer half brother.
