The high seller was Metilion (Metallic Cat-Sparktilion by Shining Spark), selling for $98,000. The 2019 palomino colt was consigned by Alan and Allison Chappell of Collinsville, Texas, and sold to Daniel Schrock of Green Forest, Arkansas. During the second day of the sale, a consignment by DK Performance Horses (agent for Emily Kirchenschlager) became the second-highest seller with a final bid of $55,000. QS Onetimelastfall (One Time Pepto-Autumn Kitty by High Brow Cat) was bought by Jody Nobles of Aynor, South Carolina.
