Palace, whose first foals are yearlings of 2018, had his first lot go through the ring at Keeneland on Sept. 15, with McCrary Cove Bloodstock securing the bay filly for $170,000, more than 28 times the Spendthrift stallion’s stud fee.

The filly, hip No. 1123, was consigned by Woods Edge Farm. Out of Prenuptial Vow, the filly is a half-sister to the multiple stakes winner Theperfectvow and hails from the family of champion filly Banshee Breeze.

Palace has an addition 17 lots cataloged in the Keeneland sale, which runs through Sept. 23.
