OBS Spring Kicks off Busy Under-Tack Week

The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company launched an action-packed week of under-tack shows ahead of its Spring 2-year-olds in Training Sale, which will run from Apr. 16 through Apr. 19.

A total of eight juveniles–half fillies and half colts–led the way Sunday morning with joint :9 4/5 moves. WinStar's freshman sire Improbable was the only sire to be represented by a pair of session-topping workers–Hip 131, a colt out of I Know That Mom (Distorted Humor) (S G V Thoroughbreds LLC), and Hip 133, a colt out of MSW and MGSP I'm Betty G (Into Mischief) (Wavertree Stables). Also among the fastest eighth-working colts Sunday was Hip 87, a Florida-bred colt by Neolithic out of Harbor Sunset (Fast Anna) (Grassroots Training & Sales LLC), in addition to a Florida-bred son of Army Mule, Hip 108, out of GSP Hermione's Magic (Forest Wildcat) (Envision Equine, Agent).

Leading the fillies Sunday were Hip 28, a daughter of Gun Runner out of Forest Valentine (Forestry) (de Meric Sales, Agent VIII) ; Hip 32, a Florida-bred by Girvin out of Foxy Mischief (Into Mischief) (Six K's Training & Sales LLC, Agent VI) and Hip 102, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Authentic out of GSP Heavenly Hill (City Zip) (Grassroots Training & Sales LLC).

The connections of Hip 173 (Grade I Investments) hope that lightening can strike twice for Florida's freshman sire Win Win Win, who had a filly bring $1.8 million to top the final session of the OBS March sale. Out of Lookin At Lucky's Jilly, the Sunshine State-bred filly is from the family of Grade I winners Roman Ruler and El Corredor.

A pair of juveniles posted a session-heading :20.3 quarter miles Sunday. Hip 166 (Tom McCrocklin), a filly by Uncle Mo, recorded the day's co-fastest time at the distance. A half-sister to GISP Be You (Curlin), the May 16 foal is out of Jacaranda (Congrats), herself a half-sister to Group 2 scorer Boynton (More Than Ready), in addition to dual Grade I winning sire Constitution. A colt by freshman sire Mr. Money (Hip 9) equaled the day's fastest time for Omar Ramirez Bloodstock. The Florida-bred is out of Fast City (Half Ours).

Sessions begin each day at 8 a.m. The breeze schedule for the remaining days are–hips 174-345 on Monday; hips 346-518 on Tuesday, hips 519-690 on Wednesday; hips 691-863 on Thursday; hips 864- 1035 on Friday; and hips 1036-1208 on Saturday.

From Dusk A First Japanese Winner for Bolt d’Oro

5th-Kokura, ¥13,400,000 ($95,295), Newcomers, 2yo, 1200mT, 1:10.1, yl.
FROM DUSK (c, 2, Bolt d'Oro–Foolish Cause, by Giant's Causeway) was crunched down to 9-10 favoritism to open his account at first asking and gutted it out over a turf course that might have been easier underfoot than he prefers. Away alertly, the dark bay set the pace, but had company to his outside in the form of third choice Yoshi Tanrei (Jpn) (Satono Aladdin {Jpn}) as they raced into the turn. More or less on even terms as they cut the corner into the straight, From Dusk poked his head in front while fairly conservatively handled approaching the final furlong and fought on bravely to score by three-parts of a length. “He had a nice draw and broke well from the gate,” said winning jockey Kohei Matsuyama. “He was very fresh and fit and had plenty left at the finish.” He is the first Japanese starter for his freshman sire (by Medaglia d'Oro) and became his 13th winner at the time. A $200,000 graduate of last year's Keeneland September Sale, From Dusk was knocked down to trainer Hideyuki Mori for $900,000 at this year's OBS March Sale after the Top Line Sales-consigned colt worked a furlong in :9 4/5. On behalf of this owner, Mori also bought Clos de Mesnil (Practical Joke) from Top Line for a sales-topping $750,000 at OBS last March. The filly is a three-time winner from seven starts in Japan. From Dusk is a half-brother to Foolish Humor (Distorted Humor), SW-US, SP-Can, $123,803, and his dam is a half-sister to the late three-time Grade I-winning turf router Get Stormy (Stormy Atlantic). Foolish Cause is the dam of a colt by ClassicEmpire foaled Feb. 9 of this year and was bred back to Bolt d'Oro. Sales history: $200,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP; $900,000 2yo '22 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,926. VIDEO (SC 6) (see below)

Summer Breezes: Aug. 28, 2022
