OGDEN, UT—SEPTEMBER 11, 2016—A daughter of champion sire Stoli, Hip 46 Coctelera, was the high-seller on Saturday at the Utah Quarter Horse Racing Association's annual Fall Mixed Sale.

Numbers fell across the board at the annual sale this year after consignors withdrew 18 of the 61 head cataloged prior to the sale.

Hip 58, Lt Heza Winner, was the second high-selling yearling for $9,600. Aron Saenz purchased a Winners Version half-brother to 2015 Utah-Bred Futurity runner-up Zoose from Tom Peterson.

Noretta Stritzke purchased Hip 7, Rollin Winner, for $7,500 from A & C Racing and Roping. The Winners Version colt is the first foal from the unraced Brookstone Bay mare Rollin, a half-sister to Mile High Derby(G2) winner Corona Music ($311,727).

Gary Laramie was the sale's leading buyer with three purchases grossing $18,400. A & C Racing and Roping was the leading consignor or agent with two yearlings for $13,200.
