With five seven-figure horses, led by a $2.3 million Uncle Mo colt, the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s flagship spring sale of 2-year-olds in training finished a record-breaking run Friday evening.  The OBS spring sale offers the largest catalog of the 2-year-old in training season, with horses at a variety of market levels, and thus serves as something of a bellwether for the national marketplace. OBS reported 710 juveniles sold at this year's four-day sale – with seven-figure lots on each of those four days – for gross receipts of $92,070,000, shattering the sale record gross of $73,874,900 set last year, when 724 horses sold.  The average price was $129,676, surpassing the pre-pandemic record of $108,227 established in 2019. The average rose 27 percent from $102,037 last year. The median also was a record, finishing at $65,000 to surpass the $60,000 mark also set in 2019. The median was up 30 percent from last year's $50,000.  “It was a heck of a horse sale," OBS director of sales Tod Wojciechowski told the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association. "Gains on all fronts, records on all fronts. First time we’ve ever sold a million-dollar horse on each of the four days. You can’t say enough about the quality of horse that the consignors brought, the buying bench that showed up, internationally, domestically, there was just great participation on all fronts.” While seven-figure horses at the top of the marketplace create excitement, the median and the buyback rate are considered key indicators for the health of the marketplace overall. The buyback rate was the lone figure that did not improve, finishing at 15 percent compared to 13 percent last year. The buyback rate did stabilize and come down throughout the sale after it finished at 24 percent in the opening session, compared to 14 percent in the corresponding opening session of 2021.  The $2.3 million Uncle Mo colt set the bar high in the sale's opening session Tuesday and retained the top spot throughout the sale. The colt was purchased by bloodstock agent Gary Young, on behalf of owner Amr Zedan. This is the highest price for a juvenile at OBS since the 2017 spring sale, when the winning Tiznow son Conquistador sold for $2.45 million.  "Zedan Racing secures another knockout colt at OBS April," the owner's Twitter account posted. "He will be headed to the barn of Bob Baffert."  The colt, who was consigned by Top Line Sales, as agent, breezed a furlong in 9 4/5 seconds during the under-tack preview conducted last week on the Ocala Training Center's all-weather Safetrack surface. He was one of a large contingent of juveniles tied for the second-fastest time overall.  "He was just a tremendous athlete,” Young told the FTBOA. “Everything about his preview was good. When we went to the barn he was very nice. . . . This horse acts like he can do anything to me. He’ll probably get a month off at Barry Eisaman’s to just unwind before going to join Bob's stable."  Baffert, who was in attendance at the OBS sale, is currently serving a 90-day suspension that ends in July. The sale-topping colt is the first foal out of the Astrology mare Borealis Night, a half-sister to Grade 2-placed Kinsley Kisses and Grade 3-placed Spooky Woods.  There was diversity on the sale leaderboard and from the buying bench, as the five seven-figure horses were by five different sires, and both domestic and international buyers played at a high level.  Behind the sale-leading Uncle Mo colt came a $1.75 million Medaglia d'Oro colt, purchased by Red Baron's Barn and Rancho Temescal from the consignment of de Meric Sales, as agent. The colt is out of the unraced Ghostzapper mare Eltimaas, making him a half-brother to four winners, chief among those Breeders' Cup Sprint winner and Eclipse Award champion Drefong, who is now a leading young sire in Japan. Eltimaas is a half-sister to Eclipse champion juvenile Action This Day. Grade/Group 1 winners Cannock Chase and Star Catcher appear on the catalog page, as does the hard-knocking millionaire Bankit.  A colt by perennial leading sire Tapit sold for $1.7 million to West Point Thoroughbreds and Lane's End Racing, in partnership, with L.E.B., as agent. The colt, from the consignment of Eddie Woods, as agent, is out of the winning Seeking the Gold mare Pension, dam of seven winners from as many starters. He is a full brother to stakes winner Thoughtfully, as well as a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Annual Report, stakes winner Giant Payday, and stakes-placed Flores Island.  Pension is out of Grade 1 winner Furlough and is a full sister to graded stakes winner Happy Hunting. Furlough, in turn, is out of the outstanding Phipps mare Blitey, making this the family of champion Heavenly Prize, Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Dancing Spree, and Grade 1 winners including Dancing Forever, Fantastic Find, Finder’s Fee, Good Reward, Instilled Regard, Oh What a Windfall, and Persistently.  Woods also consigned a Munnings filly who sold to Larry Best's OXO Equine for $1.6 million to lead a strong final session of the sale.  The filly is out of multiple stakes winner Tensas Harbor. That Private Vow mare is a half-sister to three stakes-placed runners, including Tensas Salt, the dam of two stakes winners.  Rounding out the seven-figure lots, a colt from the first crop of the globe-trotting Mendelssohn was purchased by Japan's Mitsu Nakauchida for $1.3 million. The colt, from the consignment of Scanlon Training and Sales, as agent, is out of the unraced Malibu Moon mare Grace Is Gone, who, in turn, is out of Grade 1-placed Grace Anatomy, dam of stakes-placed Retro. This is the female family of champion Soaring Softly and of Grade 1 winner Plenty of Grace. Nakauchida was among the sale's most high-profile international buyers, with entities such as the BBA Ireland, Korea Racing Authority, and Fawzi Abdulla Nass – who purchased Kentucky Oaks-bound Shahama at this sale last year – also appearing on sale tickets.  For hip-by-hip results, click here.
