Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey's Stephanie's Kitten, winner of the Oct. 31 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT), failed to sell at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale Nov. 1 for the second consecutive year.
Kenneth Ramsey said he set a reserve of $2,999,000. The 6-year-old homebred mare by Kitten's Joy brought a final bid of $2.95 million.
"We felt like if she didn't bring (the reserve) we'd keep her and breed her to Tapit or Galileo or some big European stallion and race the offspring," Ramsey said, noting that Tapit is the most logical choice.
Last year, after Stephanie's Kitten finished second in the Filly & Mare Turf, the Ramseys set her reserve at $3.99 million, but she failed to meet the price at Fasig-Tipton.
Stephanie's Kitten is out of the Catienus mare Unfold the Rose.
