Major In Art, a former USA 2YO of the Year could just be the “Hidden Nugget” with his highest bid at just $7,500 so far in the APG NATIONAL MIXED SALE that will conclude tomorrow at 5pm.

Major In Art, who took a record of 1:50.8 at two and won almost $900,000 in stakes, from just 9 starts, is enjoying a very good season and now has total progeny earnings of more than  $5,883,413 in this country.

Major In Art’s sire line lacks nothing. His sire (the U7) Art Major (1:48.8) was a champion with stake earnings of $3.2-million and has been on Australia’s top sires for some time. He figures as the sire of three of Australia’s most outstanding pacers in For A Reason, Sushi Sushi and Avonnova.

Miami Spice (1:54.8), the dam of Major In Art, was one of the many grand producing daughters of a champion sire in Jate Lobell, being out of a noted producer in Town Tattler (1:54.6), by Big Towner from Tona Hanover, by Tar Heel.

This family traces back to the foundation mare The Old Maid, dam of a champion sire in Bachelor Hanover, sire of Noodlum. Other leading stars from  this noted U2 family include:
