Hip #’s 35 and 223 made quite the impression at the opening breeze show for the 2007 Calder 2yo sale, adding to the considerable promise of their young sire Proud Citizen. Hip #35, a $155,000 Keeneland September filly went an effortless 10 2/5 over the slower calder track, making a very strong physical impression as well. Hip #223, a $250,000 Mike Ryan September purchase also accounted herself well with an equally effortless breeze in 10 3/5, while demostrating the elegance that led to her substantial yearling price tag. Look for both fillies to only add momentum to Proud Citizen’s impressive first crop when they go through the ring Tuesday afternoon!
