Bidding will be open through Mar. 23, with the first lot closing at 3 p.m. ET. Sellers with horses entered on the Florida Derby day card will be able to supplement them into the auction for full or percentage sales. Among the entries in the Curlin Florida Derby Sale is Lightning Tones (Tonalist), who is being pointed for the GIII Ghostzapper Stakes on the Florida Derby undercard. The two-time winner of the Sunshine Classic Stakes is consigned by Paramount Sales and is available for inspection out of the barn of owner/trainer Jose Castro at Palm Meadows Training Center. Also on offer at the digital sale is a 49% stake in allowance winner Ababajoni (Neolithic), who will aim for the Cutler Bay Stakes on the Florida Derby undercard after going gate-to-wire to win a Gulfstream Park turf allowance Mar. 6. Ababajoni is offered by owner/trainer Rohan Crichton and is available for inspection in Crichton's barn at Gulfstream Park. Also in the catalogue is Mar. 14 Hutcheson Stakes winner Fulmine (Spun to Run) and Quereme Pass (Arg) (Distinctiv Passion), who was second in the GIII San Simeon Stakes that same day. Fulmine is consigned by owner Starry Night Racing and may be inspected at the Palm Meadows barn of trainer J. Kent Sweezey, while Quereme Pass is offered by trainer Jose D'Angelo, agent, and is available for inspection at Palm Meadows. Rounding out the racing prospects in the sale is the 3-year-old filly La Chismosa (Win Win Win), who has won three of her past four starts. Offered by owner Paula Capestro Bloodstock, La Chismosa may be inspected at Tampa Bay Downs. “This boutique sale offers quality with every horse,” said Inglis Digital USA CEO Kyle Wilson. “You have the potential opportunity to be an owner on GI Florida Derby day. How special is that?” All ownership changes for horses entered on the Florida Derby card can be made by race day with the assistance of Gulfstream Park. The horse must stay in the race with the trainer who entered them, but the new owner is free to choose their own trainer afterward. Buyers of horses entered in upcoming races must already have or obtain a valid Florida Racing License prior to the race. Interested parties must register for an account on the Inglis Digital USA website, www.inglisdigitalusa.com, and request a bidding limit in order to place bids.

Reigning Japanese Horse of the Year Forever Young (Real Steel) is one of nine horses declared for the $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 28.

For the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, Calandagan (Gleneagles) anchors the seven possible runners, having last won the G1 Japan Cup.

A Kentucky Derby prep race could be next for Crude Velocity (Beau Liam), who overcame an impossible trip to win on debut with 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' honors for Bob Baffert at Santa Anita Mar. 7. “We're gonna leave California with him,” owner Bill Childs said after reloading at last week's OBS March sale. “There are more opportunities for him outside of California. Bob will still have him. We want to take dead aim on what we're doing being something worthwhile. We're gonna try to target something that won't be easy, but we feel like we have one that fits that plan.” Nothing went according to plan for Crude Velocity first time out. Overlooked at odds of 10-1, the bay was off to a slow start from his rail draw and trailed the field of nine shortly after the break in a very deep 6 1/2-furlong maiden special weight. He rushed up and raced under a tight hold beneath Florent Geroux just behind the leaders in sixth through an opening quarter in :22.23. Steadied in traffic, Crude Velocity dropped back sharply and was going the wrong way around the far turn. He wasn't done yet though. He dialed it back up approaching the quarter pole, was guided out into the clear in the stretch and came storming home in a field-best :30.64 to nail the GII Wood Memorial S.-bound Civil Liberty (Independence Hall) by a neck. Crude Velocity earned an 89 Beyer Speed Figure for the effort. “That was crazy, wasn't it? Just absolutely wild,” Childs said. “We've always thought he was that kind of horse, but thinking it and knowing it is two different things. We were just thrilled. It was just really something. That was a hell of a race.” Childs added, “He showed so much talent. We knew going in he was a damn fast horse.” Hailing from the first crop of Beau Liam, Crude Velocity brought $250,000 from Childs's CSLR Racing Partners after breezing a quarter in :20 1/5 at last year's June 2-Year-Old in Training and Horses of Racing Age sale. He was previously a $12,000 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall yearling and a $3,000 Fasig-Tipton December Digital graduate. Crude Velocity was produced by the unraced Lemon Drop Kid mare Sweetnsour Kitty, just a $2,000 purchase by breeder La Ciega at the 2022 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky February sale. “He had a little bit of an injury when he was a weanling and it was a question mark as to how much it was gonna effect him,” Childs said. “We bought him knowing that, but we thought that he was so fast and so good that we were willing to take that risk. It was a little bit of a… It's hard to explain, but it was down in his ankle and happened when he was three months old. Our vet said, 'It's so old, if he can do what he's doing right now, I'd say take the risk.'” Previously involved in ownership in the 1980s, Childs returned joined by his son Alex to launch CSLR Racing in 2022. Bill Childs | Photos by Z The operation has hit the ground running with standouts such as 2025 GI Frizette S. winner Iron Orchard (Authentic) (Editor's Note: Iron Orchard brought $2.5 million from KatieRich Farms at last year's Fasig-Tipton Mid-October Digital sale); 2025 GI Malibu S. runner-up Midland Money (Shancelot); and graded winners Cash Call (McKinzie), Pilot Commander (Justify) and Silent Law (Tiz the Law). The Ft. Worth, Texas-based businessman and developer spent $1.15 million on a trio of 2-year-old colts, all by freshmen sires, at OBS March. Teaming up with Jimmy Gladwell, he purchased: Hip 135, a Jackie's Warrior colt bred in New York by Chester and Mary Broman for $500,000 (:9 4/5); Hip 748, a colt by Drain the Clock o/o a half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint winner Wavell Avenue for $350,000 (:20 1/5); and Hip 419, an Olympiad colt o/o a daughter of GISW Game Face for $300,000 (:9 4/5). Baffert will train the Drain the Clock colt. The other two are heading to Danny Gargan. “Everything we bought we felt like had talent,” Childs said. “Hell, it's always a gamble, you never know, but we liked those and we'll give 'em a shot.” The post ‘Childs’ Play: Bright Future for Dramatic Debut Winner Crude Velocity appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
