First-Crop Sire Watch: 2023 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. June Sale

Following is a list of stallions whose first crops of 2-year-olds are represented in the upcoming Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. 2-Year-Olds in Training and Horses of Racing Age Sale, including the number of horses cataloged and the farm where the stallion is currently advertised.

Offerings from the debut crop of a stallion are often met with a commercial premium from buyers at auction. A stallion's stud fee is often at its highest during their first season, increasing the initial investment, and the natural intrigue of a blue-sky prospect often put a unique spotlight on the rookie sires at any given sale.

Here are the opportunities to get in on the ground floor with a first-year stallion at this year's OBS June Sale.

Hall Of Famer Zenyatta Delivers Filly Foal At Lane’s End

Zenyatta, a brilliant competitor on the racetrack but who has had a troubled career as a broodmare, foaled a filly on Friday at the Farish family's Lane's End in Versailles, Ky., Bill Farish told TVG in a Saturday interview.

Zenyatta was bred to War Front for 2023, according to Equineline.

A 19-year-old Street Cry mare who was the 2010 Horse of the Year and was a three-time champion older female, Zenyatta, a Lane's End resident, has produced four registered foals, two starters, but no winners, since retiring to the breeding shed for the 2011 season.

Her first two foals, who both started, Cozmic One (2012), by Bernardini, and Ziconic (2013), by Tapit, both retired to second careers as off-track Thoroughbreds, each succeeding as showjumpers.

Zenyatta's other two registered foals, Zellda, a daughter of Medaglia d'Oro born in 2017, and Zilkha, a Candy Ride filly foaled in 2020, never raced.

Zellda was Zenyatta's first foal since losing a pair of foals by War Front in 2014 and 2016. She was not bred in 2015.

The 2014 filly was euthanized as a weanling following a paddock accident, and the 2016 foal, a colt, lived several days but succumbed to meconium aspiration syndrome.

In 2018, Zenyatta aborted a foal by Into Mischief; and in 2021 aborted a foal by Candy Ride. She was not bred ahead of the 2022 foaling season.
