Evelyn Benoit of Brittlyn Stables provided a wake-up call early in Friday’s Keeneland November session when fending off all challengers to take home MGSP Moment of Majesty (Saint Liam) for $850,000. The 9-year-old was consigned to the sale by Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency as hip 917 while carrying a foal by Hill ‘n’ Dale resident Curlin. Grovendale’s James Keogh, acting on the new owner’s behalf, said Moment of Majesty will next year visit Benoit’s $1.75-million earner Star Guitar, who stands at Clear Creek Stud in Folsom, LA.
