From the moment he crossed the Maryland State Fairgrounds finish line and the timer blinked ":9.3" during the under-tack show, the focus of this year's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale had been the future of Hip 385, the Bernardini colt that set the blazing time.That future became much clearer on Tuesday, when the colt hammered to Zedan Racing for $3.55 million, the most ever paid for a horse in the auction's history. It was a crowning moment for the Sequel Bloodstock team, the consignment responsible for the colt's past and present, on behalf of breeders and longtime clients Chester and Mary Broman.
