Grade 3-placed stakes winner Funny How commanded a bid of $300,000 to lead the New York-bred offerings during Book 1 of the Keeneland November breeding stock sale Tuesday in Lexington.
Locust Road purchased the 5-year-old daughter of Overanalyze, sold as Hip 185 by Denali Stud, agent. Funny How, who made her final start in early April, was sold in foal to top sire Constitution.
Bred by Hibiscus Stable and foaled at Waldorf Farm in North Chatham, Funny How is one of nine winners from nine foals to race and one of three stakes winners out of the stakes-winning Distorted Humor mare Heavenly Humor. She’s a half-sister to multiple stakes winner and $638,645-earner Funny Guy, stakes winner Super Humor, stakes-placed $342,170-earner Three Jokers and five other winners.
A $120,000 purchase at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Eastern fall yearling sale, Funny How raced for Adelphi Racing Club and Cutair Racing and trainer Ray Handal. She won five of 11 starts, including the 2023 Broadway Stakes at Aqueduct during a run of five straight victories, and earned $302,405. She also finished second in the Grade 3 Distaff Handicap at Aqueduct.
