Once more during the third session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training April 17 when a colt by the late Uncle Mo sold for $1.3 million to Restrepo's Marquee Bloodstock, agent, to lead the action.
The colt, consigned as Hip 833, added to what is already a record-setting OBS Spring sale as he became the eighth horse to sell for seven figures during the 2025 sale, besting the previous mark of five that was established in 2022.
Total gross for the session came in at $21,806,500 from 144 sold, well up from the $15,692,000 generated by 157 sold in 2024. The average of $151,434 jumped up from $99,949 last year, while the median came in at $80,000, a significant improvement compared to $57,000 a year ago.
Overall figures for gross and average are also pacing well ahead of 2024's numbers. The total gross of $68,940,000 is up from $62,545,000 last year at this point with the average jumping from $126,866 in 2024 to $143,029 this year. The median of $65,000 is down slightly from $72,000 through three sessions in 2024.
De Meric Sales leads all consignors by gross through the first three days with 25 sold for $5,842,000. Mahmud Mouni leads all buyers with six purchased for $3,530,000. A total of 109 horses have failed to meet their reserve resulting in an RNA rate of 18.4%.
