An already standout week for Gainesway stallion Drain the Clock finished on a high note Saturday when a chestnut colt (hip 748) by the first-season stallion consigned by Doble J Equine Sales became the second horse by the sire to equal the OBS track record this week, breezed a quarter-mile in :20 1/5 during the final day of under-tack shows. Out of the Exhi mare Exsqueeze Me, an OBS graduate who is a half sister to GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint winner Wavell Avenue (Harlington), the colt made it three straight days of offspring by the young sire topping the breeze ranks. “I started hearing whispers even in October and you need to be cautiously optimistic or else you could look foolish,” said Ryan Norton, stallion director for Gainesway, regarding the aptitude of Drain the Clock's offspring. “But given his pedigree and given his precociousness and speed, it's something we thought was definitely possible. Now, did I think it was going to be to this level of having multiple sub 10s and two tie the breeze up record at :20 1/5, no. But obviously, we're very happy. I've felt like the prettiest girl in school the last couple days because everyone has been blowing my phone up.” “(His offspring) are the most consistent group of horses I think I've seen in a long time from a stallion,” Norton continued. “It's not necessarily one thing but they're pretty like he is, they look fast and I always thought the pinhookers would gravitate towards him because they are big and pretty.” The commanding presence of first-crop sires during the under-tack shows was further showcased when an Arkansas-bred bay filly (hip 688) by Jack Christopher consigned by Randy Miles, posted the fastest eighth on Saturday, working in :9 3/5. “I can sum up (my expectations) with no sleep last night,” Miles laughed. “Nobody ever thinks they can go :9 3/5 and I'm not one of those guys who thinks speed is everything. But I knew she could do something really special. I just hoped we didn't mess it up between leaving the barn and getting the rider on her. I didn't want to say anything, I didn't want to tout her, I just wanted her to show off. I can't say enough about this filly. I think we're going to read about this filly in the next couple years, I really do. I'm just tickled.” The filly is out of the stakes winning War Chant mare Court Dancer and is from the female family of Grade I winner Fourstar Crook. “She's not real tall. She's not small but she's not one of those big, stretchy imposing types,” Miles said. “But you can see once she gets fit…she's going to look really good as she matures.” The Ocala Breeders' Sales March 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale kicks off with the first of three sessions on Tuesday, March 10. Bidding begins each day at 10 a.m. The post Drain The Clock, Jack Christopher Juveniles Lead Final Day Of OBS March Under-Tack Show appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

You might have overdone it. Had winning accounts and kept promos and had winning accounts and got the email saying no more. If you're going to try and milk them they'll cut them off.

Read back in the thread, I tipped the winner, before it ran and without bringing up nonsense about sectionals, what are you the Bride of Aidan Rodley or something? -

Never looking anything but a winner, SPLENDORA (m, 5, Audible–Miss Freeze, by Frost Giant) picked up fifth win in a row and her second Grade I in Saturday's GI B. Wayne Hughes Beholder Mile at Santa Anita. Last year's GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint winner went off the no-brainer 1-9 favorite and cruised on the front end under Juan Hernandez with just a bit of early pressure from a game Bless the Broken (Laoban). Never truly pushed, the Bob Baffert trainee hit the top of the stretch with her ears up and hit high gear, quickly putting Bless the Broken in the rear view mirror to check in an easy open-lengths winner. Om N Joy (Om) put in a late run to finish third. Lifetime Record: 12-7-4-0. O-Boyd Racing and By Talla Racing, LLC; B-The Elkstone Group LLC; T-Bob Baffert. Sales History: $125,000 ylg '22 FTKJUL.
