Thanks for posting that! The colt is gorgeous and seems like quite a character. Good for Finley for getting in on him.

Second Seven-Figure Seller for Curlin Tops the Gulfstream Sale
Wednesday, March 27, 2019
An immaculately put-together colt by Curlin descending from one of the premier families in the studbook was hammered down for $3.65 million as the Fasig-Tipton Florida Sale neared its conclusion Wednesday afternoon. Donato Lanni and Jamie McCalmont reportedly signed the ticket on behalf of Coolmore and an undisclosed partnership, but he will reportedly be trained by Bob Baffert.

I saw some photos on twitter of the Curlin colt hip 173 that was the sales topper and OMG he is something.
This Steve Byk podcast I am linking is a good listen when you have time. It starts out talking about the unbelievable bidding war on the colt and then John Sikura of Hill 'n' Dale goes on to talk about the state of the racing and recent events. A good listen:
BYK: John Sikura is as passionate and dedicated an industry stakeholder as we have.
Hear him discuss the $3.65MM Curlin colt (at 19:00) before responding to my question of how we answer our critics with an eloquent, thoughtful dissertation on the sport's current morass (at 41:00).

I know! Can’t believe the price! What an uptick for Curlin! Who needs Frankel, we have the Mighty Curlin! I just hope he lives up to that price on the track!
