With the third highest return at the 2025 OBS Spring Sale, TAGERMEEN (Into Mischief) was taken home for $1.4-million by Mahmud Mouni after the colt fired a :9 4/5 during the under-tack show. Sent to Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, the debuting bay is out of Silk Route (Empire Maker), who Mouni acquired for a mere $10,000 at the 2024 Keeneland November Sale. Tagermeen's extended female family includes GIII Lecomte Stakes hero Call Me Midnight (Midnight Lute) and French Group 1 winner Full Mast (Mizzen Mast).

Another OBS grad who exits the gate for the first time is Tapit's Legacy (Tapit). Spendthrift and Epic Racing went to $550,000 to get the colt who went :10 flat during the March breeze. Trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, the son of Tapit was produced by Peace Corps (Violence)–a $500,000 2020 Keeneland November purchase for Corser Thoroughbreds. This dam is a half-sister to GI Prioress Stakes heroine Her Smile (Include), who herself is responsible for MGSW Pink Sands (Tapit).

Drawn to the outside for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott is $725,000 Keeneland September graduate Time to Strike (Not This Time). Owned by Gold Standard, the April colt's dam is a half-sister to GSW Devil by Design (Medaglia d'Oro), who is responsible for GI American Oaks victress Competitionofideas (Speightstown)–a $1.3-million buy for Shadai at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale.

The debuting bay claims famed older half-sister Search Results (Flatter), the winner of the GI Acorn Stakes who amassed nearly $2 million during her racing career and went for $3.6-million to Katsumi Yoshida during the 2023 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale.

Others of note here include Atropa (Into Mischief), whose extended female family includes current sires Street Boss (Street Cry {Ire}) and Jack Christopher (Munnings).
