THere seems To Be alot of people looking, now does that mean that they will be Spending there money that is the question?????? I have talked to several Consigners here and most seem to be Cautiously optimistic. Personally I think THe Top end Horses will do Fine, but its that 50k to 100k horses that I'm wondering About. I am not sure there will be that big of Market for them.

I thought the offlee Wild filly was wicked quick

OBS LIVE SALE VIDEO

With a catalog of 340 horses, the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. March select sale of 2-year-olds in training is the largest of the five major select juvenile auctions conducted each year in California, Florida, and Kentucky. Following is a list of horses in the sale’s March 16 first session that buyers and consignors said were attracting a lot of attention and had the potential to bring big prices:

Hip No. 2, Joker Face, a colt by It's No Joke – Zonda, by Deputy Minister. Consigned by Ricky Leppala, agent.

“He’s a big, stretchy, two-turn-type horse that went a quarter (mile) in :21 4/5,” Leppala said. “He’s really getting a lot of attention because of that.”

Hip No. 11, a colt by Jump Start – All American Blond, by Quiet American. Consigned by Off The Hook, agent.

“We bought him as a weanling, and he’s really well put together,” said Off The Hook’s Joe Appelbaum. “He’s a Pennsylvania-bred, and there have already been three Pennsylvania trainers here this morning (March 15) to look him. That’s an encouraging sign. He went (an eighth of a mile) in :10 3/5. For his size and his pedigree profile, that’s pretty darn good.”

Hip No. 23, a colt by Exchange Rate – Assets On Ice, by Seattle Dancer. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“He’s more of route kind of Exchange Rate,” said Eisaman Equine’s Shari Eisaman of this bay half brother to Baldwin Stakes (gr. III) winner Seattle Borders (by Western Borders). “He’s a really nice horse and a good mover.”

Hip No. 33, a colt by Maria's Mon – Bare It Properly, by Proper Reality. Consigned by McKathan Bros., agent.

“He’s a neat little horse, but he moves like a really big horse,” said Kevin McKathan of this half brother to Stonerside Beaumont (gr. II) and Cicada (gr. III) Stakes winner Proper Gamble (by Prospectors Gamble). “Everyone is really liking him. With the pedigree he has, he’ll get around two turns. He’s put together well.”

Hip No. 35, a colt by Indian Charlie – Bellini Sunrise, by Machiavellian. Consigned by Eddie Woods, agent.

“He’s just a nice horse,” said Woods of this bay juvenile, which is from the family of grade I winner Game Face. “He’s medium-sized for an Indian Charlie, and he’s from a great family. We’ve fought a gravel with him all week, and he should have worked quicker than he did, but he still worked well (covering an eighth of a mile in :10 3/5).”

Hip No. 51, a colt by War Front – Call Your Beau, by Caller I. D. Consigned by McKathan Bros., agent.

“He’s a really big, two-turn-looking horse, and he’s a really beautiful mover,” Kevin McKathan said. “He looks like he’ll be one that will stick around (on the racetrack) late next year. He’s a little out of his element here trying to go an eighth of a mile, but I think he’s a really special horse. Everything you ask him to do, he looks for more of it.”

Hip No. 53, a colt by Afleet Alex – Cateress, by Tabasco Cat. Consigned by Jerry Bailey Sales Agency, agent.

“He’s a big, big Afleet Alex with a lot of scope,” said Jerry Bailey’s partner, Lance Robinson. “He looks like a two-turn horse.”

Hip No. 59, a filly by Yes It's True – Channing Way, by Smokester. Consigned by Journeyman Bloodstock, agent.

“She’s a really nice filly that was a May foal and is maturing quickly right now,” said Journeyman’s Brent Fernung. “She has a beautiful way of going, and she worked well (completing an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5).”

Hip No. 62, Colorful, a colt by Lemon Drop Kid – Cheerful, by Dixieland Band. Consigned by Niall Brennan Stables, agent.

“He’s been very popular,” Niall Brennan said. “He’s kind of a plain horse, but he has a lot of scope and he moves nicely on the racetrack. He’s a very correct, sound horse. He’s one for the future – the farther the better for him. He galloped out very well (after working an eighth of a mile in :10 4/5).”

Hip No. 70, a filly by Forest Wildcat – Clever Maid, by Confide. Consigned by Flying Fish, agent.

“She’s always been very precocious, really smart, and really sound,” said Flying Fish’s Art Fisher of this dark bay or brown juvenile, which worked an eighth of a mile in :10 1/5. “She’s just done everything right, and she’s the perfect size.”

Hip No. 75, a colt by Medaglia d'Oro – Colorado Spring, by Pine Bluff. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“He worked (an eighth of a mile) in :10 3/5, and he galloped out really strong,” said Eisaman Equine’s Shari Eisaman of this dark bay or brown 2-year-old. “He’s just a real pretty, nice, low, smooth mover.”

Hip No. 77, Kantharos, a colt by Lion Heart – Contessa Halo, by Southern Halo. Consigned by Eddie Woods, agent.

“He’s a very nice horse, and he worked really good (completing a quarter mile in :21 2/5),” said Woods of this half-brother to grade III winner Ikigai (by Whywhywhy ). “He’s a very striking horse when you come look at him. He resembles his dad a lot, and he might be even a hair bigger than him.”

Hip No. 93, a colt by Smart Strike – Dixie Holiday, by Dixieland Band. Consigned by Niall Brennan Stables, agent.

“Obviously, his pedigree speaks for itself – top and bottom,” said Niall Brennan of this bay half-brother to stakes winner Holiday Runner (by Meadowlake), who is the dam of grade I winner Seventh Street (by Street Cry). “He’s a beautifully-made colt; he’s a very tidy package. He has great balance and efficiency. You could see that on the track; he’s such an efficient mover (covering an eighth of a mile in :10 1/5). He’s a very, very sound, very forward, and very professional colt.”

Hip No. 95, Certainly Royal, a colt by Imperialism – Dover Court, by Gold Alert. Consigned by Southern Chase Farm, agent.

This dark bay or brown juvenile is a half-brother to a stakes-placed runner, Miss Grimsby (by Saint Ballado) and is from the family of added-money winners Cardashi, Dinner Pardner, Jasper Park, Noble Pardner, Tobe Suave, and Rose and Betty.

Hip No. 102, Atlantic Bull, a colt by Stormy Atlantic – Emptythetill, by Holy Bull. Consigned by Derby Dreams, agent.

“He’s a pleasurable colt to be around; he’s just done everything right from day one,” said Derby Dreams’ Michelle Elliott of this gray or roan half brother to grade III winner Conveyance (by Indian Charlie). “He’s done really well here (turning in the fastest time for a quarter mile of :21 1/5 during the under tack show’s first session). I’m really proud of him. He loves to train. He just has natural ability.”

Hip No. 108, Exchange Officer, a colt by Exchange Rate – Exaggerate, by Cat Thief. Consigned by Nick de Meric, agent.

“He’s athletic, and he’s a full brother to a stakes winner (Exe),” de Meric said. “He worked very well here (going an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5), and he’s trained very well into the sale. He’s an all-around nice colt, a good, strong, sound colt.”

Hip No. 109, a colt by Distorted Humor – Exchange Place, by Exchange Rate. Consigned by All In Sales, agent.

“He worked (an eighth of a mile) in :10 3/5 and looked awesome doing it,” said Tony Bowling of All In Sales. “He was really immature when we bought him and has really done a lot of changing for the better. He’s got a beautiful way of going, and I venture to say he had one of the nicer videos. He has a big, long walk, hence the big, long stride on the racetrack.”

Hip No. 117, a colt by Bandini – Five Star Holding, by Five Star Day. Consigned by Southern Chase Farm, agent.

This dark bay or brown juvenile is out of a stakes-placed runner and is from the family of champion Ashado, grade I winner Sunriver, grade II winner Foresta, and grade III winners Sindy With an S, Wising Up, Wised Up, and Quite a Bride.

Hip No. 119, Flexnow, a colt by Tiznow – Fleas Louise, by Storm Cat. Consigned by Leprechaun Racing, agent.

“He’s a big, beautiful horse,” said Leprechaun’s Mike Mulligan. “He looked like he was just galloping and went (an eighth of a mile in) :10 3/5. He also galloped out really well. He’s very popular because he’s by the right horse. He stands 17 hands, and he’s just gorgeous. I expect him to do as well as a horse can do in these (tough) economic times.”

Hip No. 124, a colt by Congrats – For All Who Dream, by Eltish. Consigned by Off The Hook, agent.

“He has a beautiful stride,” said Off the Hook’s Joe Applebaum. “He went (a quarter mile in) :22, but he did it the right way. He’s a really well put together horse.”

Hip No. 130, a colt by Dixie Union – Gin Running, by Go for Gin. Consigned by Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds, agent.

“He went good on the track (working an eighth of a mile in :10 3/5), and his family probably says that he’s a racehorse all the way through,” said Dean De Renzo of this bay half brother to grade II winner Tizfiz (by Tiznow ).

Hip No. 165, a colt by Giant's Causeway – Lady Fu Peg, by Fusiachi Pegasus. Consigned by Niall Brennan Stables, agent.

“He has a beautiful pedigree,” said Niall Brennan of this chestnut juvenile, which is from the family of grade I winner Keeper Hill (by Deputy Minister) and grade II winner Golden Gear (by Gulch). “He’s a horse for the future. He’s not really a 'now' horse even though he breezed very well (covering an eighth of a mile in :10 4/5). He’s a horse that will go a distance and keep going. He’s a very tough, durable colt, and he loves to train.”

Hip No. 169, a colt by Red Bullet – Leah’s Angel, by Caller I.D. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“He worked (an eighth of a mile) in :21 4/5 on the first day (of the under tack show) when it was a very deep, tiring, heavy racetrack because of all the rain and because they cut the track deep on purpose so we don’t have a speedy surface, which makes it safer; he handled it like a good horse should,” said Eisaman Equine’s Shari Eisaman of this half-brother to grade III winner Expect an Angel (by Valid Expectations ).”

It's funny how so many of them are always just begging to go two-turns.

"He wants to go long".....Is code for 'he is slow.'

:p

Normally true ... but when you're a seller in these sales .. nothing is more important than being able to convince people the horse wants two-turns. They see the raw speed for themselves in the under-tack. Caller One would have been begging for 2 miles if you're the one selling him.

They don't write races for 4 furlongs often enough for Caller One.

The quote I'm waiting for from an honest consignor:

"Well, everybody that's looked at him can see he's crooked as the letter Dubya, but he's together right now, breezed real good, and as long as he keeps it together he should win somebody a couple races..."

I just wonder why Wes Ward doesn't pinhook his homebreds?
They would work 9 second eighths, 17 second quarters and sell for 5 million each.

The two fastest horses I've ever seen from OBS fit that profile well.

Afrashad worked like 20.60 back when it was dirt and times were MUCH slower now than on average. He was a 15k Smoke Glacken yearling and Godolphin paid 500K for him.

Master of Disaster was sired by Dance Master and sold for 12K. He ended up going for 600K at OBS Feb. Broke his maiden by almost 15 lengths in his debut going 4.5 furlongs. Was 2nd at like 6/5 to Henny Hughes in the Saratoga Special in his 2nd start.

Yep - Wes Ward - the king of the 2f Santa Anita baby race

Your finest post ever

He is pretty dominant at Keeneland as well.

I am no expert but I wouldn't buy a Fraudini at any price

Out of the gate

I liked him and Noble Causeway that year. Remember when Bandini bit, or tryed to bight High Fly in the Bluegrass?

The Badge of Silver in this sale who worked the 10 flat bullet 1/8th ...

The mother of that horse once got beat almost 30 lengths in a 3K N2L claimer going a mile at Fairmount Park.

She's had 4 foals to race so far, 3 have won, and 1's a stakes winner. I'm a huge fan of broodmares who were disgraceful race horses.

My pet name for him is Nagdini.

If they have no pedigree and are crooked, the numbers are still limited, even if they can fly. A few years ago, the Ward-trained homebred One Hot Wish broke the world record for 4.5F at Keeneland in her career debut (48.87 seconds on Polytrack). She had a left knee that her consignor described as "a little freaky" and was sired by Bring the Heat. They entered her as a "late addition" to Keeneland's 2YO sale after her debut, and she RNA'd at $300K.

That day happened to be my one trip to Keeneland that meet.

I liked that Hip #30 by Badge of Silver. Surprised he only went for $45k, even if the breeze was in the middle of the range.

I'm bummed out that hip #105 ... the world's slowest Smart Strike .. is an out.

The highest priced horse so far is sired by War Front ... the dam was off the board in lifetime condition $3,500 claiming races at Thistle Downs.

The dams has had 3 foals to race so far - 2 have won - one of them runs for a 5k claiming tag at Sunland the other for a 7.5K tag at Charles Town.

Horse isn't especially fast either ... but he does have a nice long stride. Padua Stables is the buyer for $275,000

Nice to see Padua reinvesting that TB Derby purse.. I guess it was direct deposit

Not to mention War Front is a first crop sire. He had a high priced colt in the Calder sale as well.

I know it remains to be seen how the horse turns out, but I wonder if Padua was armed with the info you just posted. For an owner that was fleeced at the sales his first few years, then had the guts to step up and do something about it, buying a seemingly overpriced horse like this appears very "back to their old tricks".

I read in another thread that the guy who picked out Zenyatta and Odysseus is there ... maybe he liked him a lot. Who knows.

Either way .. the horse was a 75K yearling six months ago ... and while it showed a nice stride in the under-tack show ... 275K seems like a bit of a reach considering the pedigree and that the horse didn't exactly show overwhelming raw speed.

Sure is a lot more enjoyable watching the Fasig-Tipton sales.
Better video quality and results uploaded quicker.

David Ingordo. Sanan, who is in Cincinnati, just explained the 2 they liked today were the one they bought and Hip #149, an E Dubai that went to Stonestreet for $260,000. He said their target budget for both was $250k. They like one tomorrow.

200K for an Imperialism.. I wouldnt have bought Imperialism for 200k ever lol

The guy used to bid in 250k intervals..

One of our Owners Purchased that colt Privately later in the Afternoon You can Expect to see him at Woodbine sometime this year

I thought the E Dubai was pretty athletic ... I'd certainly be interested in betting on it come it's debut.

Another one that looked like a bit of a reach though for 260K.

52K September yearling. The dam never finished 1st or 2nd in a race ... was 9th beaten 20+ lengths in a 20K Maiden Claiming race in her final start and than mercifully retired.

The dam did drop a stakes winner ... but it won a very shabby 50K "consolation" stakes race at 20/1 odds at Hastings Park : http://www.drf.com/drfNCWeeklyHorseD...80921&raceNo=8

It now runs for a high priced claiming tag at Hastings.

Sorry Guys I have to disagree on the Pedigree on the War Front Colt One thing You guys are not Mentioning to every one is the mare Call Your Beau who was not much as a race horse is a 1/2 to
HAsten to Add Who was a champion Grass Horse In Canada A Grade 3 Winner in the States and Placed in Grade 1,2 and 3's in Canada and the US and earned over a 500k.

Also a 1/2 To See How She Runs a Grade 2 winner of Over 500k

All though her first foal may have wound up running Cheap he did win 4 races for a 117k And that Horse was By Buddha(enough said there)

When Call Your Beau was losing in $3,500 condition claiming races at Thistle Downs ... everything you typed about Hasten To Add was already well known because his career was over several years earlier.

If she was such a promising broodmare prospect ... why wouldn't someone have been smart enough to claim her for $3,500 and mercifully retire her?

I don't know ... but being by War Front out of a Caller ID mare who sucked .. I'd want to see some real speed to think forking over 275K is sane. Seems like a reach to me ... but how many of them aren't reaches I guess?

Avergage & median up from last year...

The gross revenue for the 87 horses sold during the first session was $8,656,000. The average was $99,494, and the median was $75,000. Compared to 2009’s first day, the number sold and gross dropped 23% and 20%, respectively. But the average grew 3.9% while the median rose 7.1%.

The buy-back rate declined to 28.7% from 41.1% last year.

Session Two 'hot' horses:
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...wos-hot-horses


OBS March Sale: Session Two's Hot Horses
By Deirdre B. Biles

Here is a list of the horses in the March 17 second session of the the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. March select sale of 2-year-olds in training in Central Florida that could bring a lot of money, according to buyers and consignors:

Hip No. 182, Tura Lura, a colt by Johannesburg – Lullaby, by Unbridled’s Song. Consigned by Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds, agent.

“He’s a big, big Johannesburg that has a huge stride to him,” said Dean De Renzo. “He’s a 16-hand, May 10 foal. He’s out of an Unbridled's Song mare, and he looks like Unbridled’s Song.”

Hip No. 190, a filly by More Than Ready – Meadow Silk, by Meadowlake. Consigned by Jerry Bailey Sales Agency, agent.

“She has a lot of pedigree,” said Lance Robinon, Jerry Bailey’s partner, of this chestnut juvenile, which is a half-siser to Indiana Derby (gr. II) winner Star Dabbler (by Saint Ballado). “She’s really done well mentally here. She’s done everything we’ve asked her to do.”

Hip No. 206, Dancing Destiny, a filly by Tapit – Ms Proud Destiny, by Artax. Consigned by All In Sales, agent.

“She is a big, stretchy, elegant filly; she’s more refined than most Tapits,” said All In Sales’ Tony Bowling. “She’s a two-turn-looking filly that’s 16.2 hands. She looks like she’ll go all day long, but yet gets across the ground nice. She went a tight :10 3/5 (for an eighth of a mile) and looked really good doing it.”

Hip No. 208, a colt by Purge – Mystical Beauty, by Cobra King. Consigned by Flying Fish, agent.

“He’s a beautiful horse; he’s got a lovely walk,” said Flying Fish’s Art Fisher of this dark bay or brown juvenile, which is a half brother to Canadian stakes winner Oldredlgetcha (by Limehouse ). “He’s a different model than his half brother. He’s a thicker, bigger, better model. He has a lovely stride. He’s never going to be one of those horses that works (an eighth of a mile) in :10 1/5. He’s going to be one of those that goes two turns.”

Hip No. 246, a colt by Bluegrass Cat – Reason to Talk, by Sabona. Consigned by Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds, agent.

“He’s a really good mover and a big, good-looking horse,” said Dean De Renzo of this bay juvenile, which was produced from a stakes winner.

Hip No. 256, a colt by Grand Slam – Roman Romance, by San Romano. Consigned by Nick de Meric, agent.

“He’s a big, strapping, beautiful moving horse that looks like he could mature into any kind of individual,” de Meric said. “He’s very, very balanced for a horse his size, and he has lots of scope and stretch. He’ll make a lovely 3-year-old.”

Hip No. 268, a filly by Exchange Rate – Sangue too Loud, by Slew Sangue. Consigned by Flying Fish, agent.

“She’s going to be a two-turn horse,” said Flying Fish’s Art Fisher. “She has a really good mind and just loves the game.”

Hip No. 270, Wicked Speed, a filly by Macho Uno – Sararegal, by Regal Classic. Consigned by Nick de Meric, agent.

“This is a lighter-framed, very athletic, exceptionally good-moving filly with a nice pedigree,” said de Meric of this half sister to Canadian Horse of the Year and grade III winner Fatal Bullet (by Red Bullet ).”

Hip No. 282, a filly by Badge of Silver – Silver Bride, by Runaway Groom. Consigned by Leprechaun Racing, agent.

“She went (an eighth of a mile) in :10 (tying a Henny Hughes colt for the fastest time at the distance), and she galloped out very fast,” said Leprechaun’s Mike Mulligan. “She’s beautiful on the end of the shank, and she’s very nice filly all the way around.”

Hip No. 288, a filly by Offlee Wild – Slews Majesty, by Slew City Slew . Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“She’s a got a sane head on her; she’s really, really professional,” said Eisaman Equine’s Shari Eisaman. “She just handles everything really well.”

Hip No. 291, Noble Exchange, a colt by Exchange Rate – Social Scene, by Tabasco Cat. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“He’s just a freak,” said Eisaman Equine’s Shari Eisaman of this gray or roan juvenile, which worked a quarter mile in :21, the fastest time for the distance in the auction’s under tack show. “He’s always been a bullet proof horse. The first time we worked him he was all business. He knew what he was doing. We didn’t have to teach him anything. He’s a horse that improves every time you ask him to do something.”

Hip No. 303, a colt by Malibu Moon – Summit Life, by Mt. Livermore. Consigned by Ricky Leppala, agent.

“He worked really nice and moved real well on the racetrack (completing an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5),” Leppala said.

Hip No. 306, a colt by Henny Hughes – Tacticmove, by Deputy Minister. Consigned by James Layden, agent.

“He’s just a pleasure to be around; he’s a good-minded colt that’s easy to deal with and loves what he does," said Layden of this bay juvenile, which shared the sale’s fastest time for an eighth of a mile of :10 with a Badge of Silver filly. “Under a little different conditions, he could have worked :9 and change, but the track is a little slower and there was some headwind, too. He’s been training super all winter.”

Hip No. 309, a colt by Yes It's True – Tappin for Gold, by Pleasant Tap. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“He worked (an eighth of a mile) in :10 4/5, and he’s always acted like he wanted to be a mile-and-a-half horse,” said Eisaman Equine’s Shari Eisaman. “He’s a big, pretty, good-moving horse.”

Hip No. 310, a colt by Indian Charlie – Teak Totem, by Northern Afleet. Consigned by Eisaman Equine, agent.

“He’s a Florida-bred, so he’s been living outside; he hasn’t been in a stall all his life,” said Shari Eisaman of Eisaman Equine. “He’s not huge like Indian Charlie, but he’s good-sized. He’s a really beautiful horse. He’s a typical running Indian Charlie.”

Hip No. 320, a colt by Rockport Harbor – Trav n’ Kris, by Snow Chief. Consigned by Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables, agent.

“He’s a real good representative of his dad,” said Wavertree’s Ciaran Dunne. “He’s a solid, workman-like horse, a big rawboned horse that doesn’t look he’ll be fast. He looks like he’s two turns all the way. Then he goes out and breezes, and he breezes really quick (covering an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5). If you can get a quick one that goes two turns, that’s usually what they (the buyers) like.”

Hip No. 323, colt by Giant's Causeway – Twenty Eight Carat, by Alydar. Consigned by All In Sales, agent.

“He’s always been a nice colt, but for a May 17 baby, he’s a big, strapping, good-looking horse that’s going in the right direction,” said All In Sales’ Tony Bowling of this half brother to Irish champion Heart Shaped (by Storm Cat) and grade I winner A P Valentine (by A.P. Indy ). “He’s a big, long-reaching, pretty moving colt on the racetrack with a ton of pedigree – probably the best pedigree in the sale. He’s the whole package.”

Hip No. 336, a colt by Stormy Atlantic – Willow Rush, by Wild Rush. Consigned by Jerry Bailey Sales Agency, agent.

“He’s doing really well,” said Jerry Bailey’s partner, Lance Robinson. “We think he’s probably going to be a good 2-year-old. He should go right on from here. He’s done everything we’ve asked of him, and he’s handled the sale, so far, really well.”

Hip No. 339, Bound for Eden, a filly by Tapit – Word Puzzle, by Ghazi. Consigned by Niall Brennan Stables, agent.

“She’s a very typical Tapit,” Niall Brennan said. “She’s a beautiful, ‘scopey’ filly with a great mind. She’s very athletic and very sound. She wants to go a distance of ground and will get better and better in my opinion. She’s just a really quality filly.”
