The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's April juvenile sale in Ocala, Fla., set a sale record Wednesday in its third session when a Distorted Humor colt brought a $975,000 final bid from Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum's agent, John Ferguson.
On April 16, the colt had breezed an eighth-mile in 10 seconds, the fastest time for the distance at the auction's under-tack show. He is out of Grade 2 winner Zuppardo Ardo. Niall Brennan, agent for the John Franks estates, consigned the colt.
