Millionaire producers are not as rare as they used to be. Multimillion-dollar purses have made the million-dollar earnings plateau increasingly accessible. Producing two millionaires, however, is still an enviable coup.

This was accomplished at Tampa Bay Downs on Kentucky Derby Day, when Live Oak Stud's 8-year-old Revved Up won the $75,000 Chris Thomas Turf Classic and kicked his lifetime earnings to $1,029,096. Revved Up's year-younger half-brother, Miesque's Approval, is a Grade 2 stakes winner and an earner of $1,189,474.

The 2-year-old sales market has seen amazing results this year, with record prices popping up at nearly every turn. Now the attention turns to the two-day Fasig-Tipton Midlantic preferred 2-year-olds in training sale, which gets underway at 11 a.m. Monday at the Timonium Sales Pavilion in Timonium, Md.

The Fasig-Tipton Midlantic preferred 2-year-old sale has 96 New York-breds cataloged to the annual spring auction, to be held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium.

The two-day sale will be held Monday and Tuesday, with selling getting under way each day at 11 a.m.

New York sires Catienus, Freud, Good and Tough, Thunderello, and Wheelaway are each represented by several juveniles.

Four juveniles topped Fasig-Tipton Midlantic's eighth-mile work tab Wednesday in advance of the company's May 22-23 preferred 2-year-old sale.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Led by a $2.5 million Red Bullet colt, the Barretts May juvenile sale set three records and equaled one Tuesday in Pomona, Calif.

The $2.5 million son of Sookloozy, by Avenue of Flags, set a mark for the auction's highest price ever. The price paid by Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum's Darley agency easily topped the previous record of $375,000, which Jess Jackson paid for Cambria Gold at the sale's 2003 edition.

LAS VEGAS - Barbaro was nothing short of sensational in winning the Kentucky Derby, and although his main competition that day - Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint - had rough trips that compromised their chances, I expect Barbaro to win the Preakness.

Many skeptics point to the dream trip Barbaro received in the Derby, one that he will not have in the Preakness, which surely sets up as a different race. They forget, however, that Barbaro faced adversity before and passed with flying colors. He makes his own racing luck.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A $2.5 million Red Bullet colt who set a record workout time last Thursday at the Barretts May juvenile sale's preview set another record Tuesday with the auction's highest-ever sale price.

Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum's Darley organization purchased the colt, which sold as Hip No. 80, from sellers Mike Akers and Ciaran Dunne. Dunne's Wavertree agency consigned the son of Sookloozy, by Avenue of Flags, on behalf of the partnership.

A Red Bullet colt out of Sookloozy became the fastest colt ever to work an eighth of a mile for a Barretts May sale on Thursday when he breezed in 9.60 seconds.

The sizzling workout was part of the Barretts May 2-year-old auction's first preview day at Fairplex Park in Pomona, Calif. The second preview, featuring Hip Nos. 190-378, was to take place Friday.

The average price for a New York-bred declined at the recent Ocala Breeders' Sales Company 2-year-olds in training sale, as 75 lots sold for a gross return of $2,049,600.

The average price of $27,328 for New York-breds at the sale was below the average of $36,152 at the corresponding sale in 2005, although the median price increased and the percentage of those not sold decreased.

This year's New York-bred median of $22,000 was a bit higher than the $21,500 figure for 2005, and considerably higher than the sale's overall median of $17,000.

The 2006 2-year-olds in training sales are winding down. The Ocala Breeders' Sales June sale of 2-year-olds in training, which starts on June 20, ends the season in Florida. Less than a month later, July 18, Fasig-Tipton Kentucky ushers in the first of the selected yearling sales. The Fasig-Tipton selected yearling sale at Saratoga begins on Aug. 9, and 12 days afterward yearlings sell with OBS in Ocala.
