Gracing the front cover of the catalog is 2007 OBS March graduate Into Mischief, purchased for $180,000 by B. Wayne Hughes out of the M&H Training and Sales consignment. After winning three of six starts including the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park and earning nearly $600,000, he entered stud in 2009. Rising steadily the stallion ranks, he has topped the North American sire list for the past two years, becoming the first stallion breaking the $20-million mark in single-season progeny earnings in 2020. The long list of his current and recent major winners is headed by reigning Horse of the Year Authentic. His son Goldencents, also an OBS 2-year-old graduate, was the leading third crop sire in 2020.
For the past few years, OBS March graduates have upheld the sale's legacy as a prime source of top class racehorses. Twenty-nine March graduates have accounted for 41 graded stakes wins since the beginning of 2019, with 166 winning or placing in 376 stakes.
The back cover features OBS March graduates who have won major races from coast to coast and overseas.
