Erdenheim Farm Thoroughbreds Buys Quietside for $5.2M

Graded stakes-winning millionaire Quietside, in foal to Nyquist, made noise in the sales ring Nov. 3, selling for $5.2 million to top the first session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Chris Baker, agent for Peter and Bonnie McCausland Erdenheim Farm Thoroughbreds, signed for the purchase of the Stone Farm-consigned daughter of Malibu Moon. Quietside was the second seven-figure acquisition by Baker on behalf of Erdenheim Farm Thoroughbreds during the Tuesday session. Earlier, they bought Kilwin for $2.6 million. Quietside, a 4-year-old out of the Speightstown mare Benner Island, raced for her breeder, John Ed Anthony's Shortleaf Stable, compiling a 3-4-2 record in 12 starts and making $1,051,575 for trainer John Ortiz. She won the Honeybee Stakes (G3) and Fantasy Stakes (G2) at Oaklawn Park in 2025 before finishing sixth in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) that spring at Churchill Downs. She was twice grade 1-placed as a juvenile in 2024. This story will be updated.
