Quiet All American by a neck in OBS stakes

Quiet All American, ridden by Victor Lebron, proved narrowly best in winning a three-horse photo in the colt-and-gelding division of the $100,000 Ocala Breeders' Sales Championship, the anchor race of the sales company's annual one-day meet held Monday in Ocala, Fla.

Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds and trained by Dale Romans, Quiet All American finished 1 1/16 miles in 1:45.40 when prevailing by a neck over Gator Tiger, with Forty Nine Acres another nose back in third. Thank U Philippe, most recently fourth in the Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park, challenged to the upper stretch before fading to fifth.

Quiet All American, a gray colt by Forest Camp, was coming off a maiden win at Gulfstream.

"We've always thought he was a nice colt," Romans said.

All of the OBS races are restricted to 3-year-olds that passed through the company's sales ring. The races are run at the Ocala Breeders' Training Center over a synthetic surface known as Safetrack. No parimutuel wagering is taken on the races.
