Florida-bred Foal Spotlight:

Verifying - Auction Fever

This handsome young colt foaled April 30 is by Pleasant Acres Stallions’ Verifying out of the winning Super Saver mare Auction Fever. His second dam is Grade 1 Santa Monica Stakes-winner and Grade 3-placed Home Sweet Aspen. Bred in Florida by Beth Bayer, the colt is a half-brother to an unnamed 2-year-old filly by Mitole and an unnamed yearling filly by Pleasant Acres Stallions’ Doppelganger—both also bred in Florida by Bayer.
