A filly from the first crop of GI Belmont Stakes winner Mo Donegal (hip 177) brought top price of $240,000 during the first session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's October Yearlings Sale Monday in Central Florida. The bay filly–one of three to bring $200,000 or more during the session–was bred by Peter E. Blum Thoroughbreds LLC and was consigned by Richard Kent's Kaizen Sales. Christophe Nouvellet, bidding on behalf of Dream With Me Florida, LLC, made the winning bid. “She was a standout in the back ring,” Nouvellet said. “She looked good, moved good and had something to her. We have open plans for her. We don't know if we are going to race her or sell back. We just liked her. And she was definitely the standout of the day.” The session-topping yearling is out of the unraced On The Good List (Speightstown), a half-sister to Grade I winner Dunbar Road (Quality Road). Blum purchased the mare, with the filly in utero, for $95,000 at the 2023 Keeneland November sale. The filly RNA'd as a weanling for $55,000 at last year's Keeneland November sale. “I sold Serena Song's as a yearling and this filly has that kind of class,” said Kent, whose Kaizen Sales was the session's leading consignor with 18 sold for $605,000. “That's big words.” Of the yearling's session-topping price, Kent added, “The price was excellent. The filly justified the price. She was just a super star all week. She'd been scoped eight times and showed herself just brilliantly over 100 times. She's a very classy filly. We had all the players in town bidding on her.” Nouvellet was philosophical about the filly's six-figure price tag. “Every time you buy a horse, you expect to pay less,” he said. “Unfortunately, you often pay more. There is a good horse everywhere. It's a question of opportunities. You are either there or you're not. And when you are there and you see a nice horse, if you have enough money left, you try your luck.” Dream With Me Florida, which recently purchased the 200-acre McKathan Brothers' Farm in nearby Citra, also acquired a Florida-bred filly by Colonel Liam (hip 182) for $13,000 during Tuesday's session. Hip 177 was one of four to bring six figures during Tuesday's session. There were seven to reach that threshold in the entire 2024 auction. During Tuesday's session, 146 yearlings sold for $3,255,600 for an average of $22,299 and a median of $15,000. The buy-back rate was 32.4%. At last year's opening session, which was abbreviated as the sales company shuffled the auction's schedule ahead of an incoming hurricane, 104 horses grossed $1,713,900 for an average of $16,480 and a median of $10,000. The 2024 auction's cumulative average was $19,275 and median was $10,000. The final session of the OBS October sale begins Wednesday at noon.

5. MIZZOU, KEE, 10/3, about 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-88 (2nd) (c, 3, by Munnings–Mo'ne Davis, by Bernardini) O-Harrell Ventures and Seaside Racing. B-Brenda and Philip Robertson (Ky). T-George Weaver. J-Jose Ortiz. This Friday maiden sprint kicks off a clean sweep for Keeneland in the Five Fastest Maidens. Mizzou battled with Divine Justice (below) from the start to ultimately lose a head bob despite having been away from the races for more than a year. Curtis Harrell and his nephew Forrest Jr. bought Mizzou for $300,000 at Keeneland September in 2023 from Versailles, Ky., husband and wife breeders Phil and Brenda Robertson. The Robertsons bought dam Mo'ne Davis from Roy Jackson four years ago–she's a half-sister to Jackson's 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. 4. DIVINE JUSTICE, KEE, 10/3, about 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-88 (c, 3, by Justify–Rarities, by City Zip) O-Flurry Racing Stable, Titletown Racing Stables, Mathiesen Racing and KC Racing. B-Killora Stud (Ky). T-Brad Cox. J-Tyler Gaffalione. A month-and-a-half ago, Semper Primus broke his maiden at Ellis Park by 8 1/4 lengths with a 100 Beyer, becoming only the second triple-digit-Beyer maiden since we started Five Fastest Maidens this May. Next across the finish in that race was Divine Justice, who just managed to outduel Mizzou Friday in his second career outing. He's a son of Justify out of a full-sister to two-time Grade I winning sprinter Palace. 3. GALLIVANT, KEE, 10/4, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-89 (3rd) (c, 2, by Into Mischief–Fancy Dress Party, by Munnings) O/B-LNJ Foxwoods (Ky). T-Ben Colebrook. J-Luan Machado. And now we get to the swift Saturday sprint at Keeneland. This son of supersire Into Mischief was well-backed at 5/1, and a pacesetting third-place 89 debut Beyer is a fine launching pad. His dam, also raced by the Roth family, won five of her six starts including the GIII Beaumont Stakes at Keeneland, so Gallivant has strong genes on both sides of his pedigree. 2. ROCKIES BALBOA, KEE, 10/4, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 91 (2nd) (c, 2, by Girvin–Toni Ann's Miracle, by Hear No Evil) O-Charles Monfort, Americas Pastime Stables and Bloom Racing Stable. B-Tonya Hunt (Fla). T-Dale Romans. J-Corey Lanerie. “Rocky” probably thought he had pacesetter Gallivant measured, until Local Knowledge landed an uppercut in the final furlong. In large part, his massive improvement from a no-excuses fifth in his first lifetime start is why some may look at the race's lofty rating with raised eyebrows. In that Sept. 1 debut, he trudged home 9 3/4 lengths behind highly-regarded Oscar's Hope with a mediocre 60 Beyer. By contrast, his 91 Beyer on Saturday came a half-hour before Oscar's Hope finished second in a Keeneland allowance–in a six-furlong time 1.16 seconds slower than Rockies Balboa. That might seem illogical, but in making speed figures you go where the data takes you. 1. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, KEE, 10/4, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-94 (c, 2, by Yaupon–Chestnut Street, by Scat Daddy) O-Spendthrift Farm. B-Stoneriggs Farm (Ky). T-Todd Pletcher. J-Dylan Davis. 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard'. Right in the middle of Spendthrift's banner weekend, this performance flew under the radar. But the $625,000 OBS April purchase delivered a big debut Beyer despite a disadvantageous trip. Watch the head-on replay and you'll see the son of Yaupon slam into the side of the gate at the break and drop five lengths behind average fractions. He also took the long way four wide around the turn, yet still ran down the leaders with nice-looking strides and a final quarter of :23.87.
