Misstrial

MyRacehorse fended off multiple other enthusiastic bidders at the 2024 Keeneland September Sale to land hip 1100, a Constitution filly out of the Fed Biz mare Blip Says Bye, for $300,000.

The Apr. 28 foal is a head-turning physical. She’s extremely balanced and athletically built with all the right proportions and a sound mind to match.

The filly is by top young sire Constitution, who is best known as the sire of MG1SW Tiz the Law–the leading freshman sire of 2024 as of this writing–fellow Grade 1 winner Americanrevolution, and nine more highest-level winners in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2024 he has been represented by five individual graded stakes winners, $1.4-million earner Webslinger and top sophomore colt Mindframe.

Constitution’s current crop of 2-year-olds were the first conceived after a major stud fee bump from $40,000 to $85,000 (he commanded the same $85,000 fee in 2022 when Blip Says Bye ‘23 was conceived), and his fee is now all the way up to $110,000, so Constitution undoubtedly has some serious horsepower in the pipeline. Through the September sale, Constitution is seventh among North American sires by yearling average at $362,166, just narrowly behind fellow young sire sensation Justify and ahead of established stalwarts Uncle Mo, Medaglia d’Oro and Quality Road.

This filly’s dam was a speedy sort by Fed Biz, who is in the very early stages of his career as a broodmare sire, but who has a right to be a productive dam sire as a well-bred son of excellent broodmare sire Giant’s Causeway. Fed Biz is the dam sire of a juvenile multiple stakes winner in 2024 by a sire from the same A.P. Indy line as Constitution. The Constitution over Giant’s Causeway cross has been responsible for a trio of graded stakes winners thus far.

Dam Blip Says Bye is a half to Blip n’ the Bye, a romping juvenile debut winner at Keeneland who finished second in the 2016 G2 Eight Belles S. The filly’s third dam was responsible for two juvenile stakes winners, another graded stakes-placed runner and the dam of one graded stakes winner and another stakes winner on the turf. There are plenty more stakes and graded stakes performers further down the page.

Blip Says Bye ‘23 has begun her pre-training at Ciaran Dunne’s Wavertree Stables in Ocala, Florida, and will eventually be turned over to none other than Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert.
