Since the beginning of 2018, March graduates continue to excel, winning 304 stakes races, a pace of more than a stakes win per week. One hundred fifty-seven March grads won or placed 314 times in graded stakes including 97 graded victories.
The March sale has produced 35 equine millionaires. The active list includes New York-bred Bankit, ageless 9-year-old Drafted, multiple graded stakes winner Last Samurai, and is headed by Koichi Nishikawa's multiple Grade 1-winning Japanese star Cafe Pharoah, third in the recent Saudi Cup (G1).
A four-time graded stakes winner, the 6-year-old son of American Pharoah, consigned by Eddie Woods, agent, to the 2019 March Sale, and sold for $475,000 to Narvick International, agent, after breezing an Under Tack quarter in :21 1/5. Trained by Noriyuki Hori, he has compiled an 14-7-0-1 career record and earned $5,414,646.
The latest star in the OBS March galaxy is NBS Stable and Elements Racing LLC's Danse Macabre, winner of the recent Herecomesthebride Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park.
