A filly sired by Win Win Win commanded the highest price at the Ocala Breeders' March Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training, fetching $1.8 million. The Florida-bred filly was sold by Donato Lanni on behalf of Amr Zedan's Zedan Racing. Ocala Stud presented the filly, who is a product of breeder Joseph O'Farrell and partners.
The bay filly, identified as Hip 788, delivered an impressive performance during the under tack show, clocking the fastest quarter-mile at :20 1/5. She is a descendant of Union Rags mare Unanimity and related to multiple stakes winners.
This sale marks a record for Ocala Stud, surpassing their previous top sale of Chapel Royal for $1.2 million in 2003. Win Win Win, the filly's sire, earned over $600,000 with victories including the Forego Stakes (G1), and stands for stud in Florida.
Another highlight of the auction was the sale of a colt by Authentic, the Horse of the Year, which Resolute Bloodstock acquired for $1 million through an online bid. Consigned by Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds as Hip 601, the colt is a Kentucky-bred out of stakes-placed mare Ruby Trust. The colt, previously bought for $260,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, breezed an eighth of a mile in :09 4/5 during the preview.
