Three Fillies Share Bullet Eighth During OBS Friday

[Wandering Eyes]

A trio of fillies shared the fastest eighth-mile time during Friday's session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's June Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training. All three, working before a downpour delayed the tail end of the fourth session for about thirty minutes, breezed their eighth in :9.4.

Out earliest of the bunch, a Florida-bred daughter of Bucchero (hip 568) consigned by Cruzin' Thoroughbreds LLC, Agent. The filly, an $8,000 yearling buy from the OBS Winter Mixed Sale last year, is a half to MSP Ek Haseena (Songandaprayer), herself the dam of G3 Boutique Group Saudi Derby winner Commissioner King (Commissioner).

Another Florida-bred filly, hip 657 (The Big Beast) is consigned by Iran Faria Corporation LLC and sold for $6,500 at the same OBS Winter Mixed Sale. Dam Force of Passion is a half to MGSW Pontchatrain (War Front).

The only Kentucky-bred filly of the trio, hip 624 (Justify) was a considerably more expensive buy, first bringing $225,000 as a weanling at Fasig-Tipton November in 2022 and then coming under the hammer once more as a yearling at Keeneland September for $275,000. Consigned here by Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds, hip 624 is out of a daughter of GI Kentucky Oaks winner Summerly who last sold to WinStar Farm for $3.3m out of FTKNOV in 2006.

Two more fillies, both from first-crop stallions, shared the fastest quarter-mile breeze of the day with hip 569 (Complexity) and hip 633 (Win Win Win) each working in :20.4.

The under-tack show continues through Sunday with sessions beginning daily at 7:30 a.m. The June sale will be held next Wednesday through Friday with bidding starting each day at 10 a.m.
