OTBO Mixed Sale Set for Oct. 15

The Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders & Owners (OTBO) Mixed Sale–with a catalog of 94-plus entrants–is scheduled to kick-off at the Delaware County Fairgrounds just outside of Columbus, OH on Friday Oct. 15 at 2:30 p.m. The complete catalog can be found at www.otbo.com. Online bidding will be available.

“The overall talent offered in this OTBO Mixed Sale catalog will almost certainly bring similar energy seen at the Keeneland Sept Yearling Sale,” said Ohio-based bloodstock agent Tony Fischbach of Donnybrook Bloodstock. “The quality of this year's Ohio-bred yearlings is well-above what we've seen in recent years, which shows the commitment of Ohio's breeders to breed better and better racehorses.”
