The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s two-day Fall Mixed Sale began Tuesday, with consignor-preferred breeding stock on offer in Florida. A total of $1,582,200 changed hands, with 106 head bringing an average of $14,926–down 10.4% from last year’s corresponding session. The median rose by 2.9% to $9,000. The RNA rate was 36.5%.
The top price of the day was the $120,000 given by Joy Ventures LLC for the 4-year-old filly Puddifoot (Red Giant). The juvenile stakes winner was consigned by Richard Kent’s Kaizen Sales, Agent II as hip 137. She was offered solely as a broodmare prospect. The $150,000 OBS June 2-year-old, who was trained by Eddie Plesa, Jr. on behalf of Laurie Plesa, Eico Stables and Trilogy Stables, is a daughter of GSW Theresa’s Tizzy (Cee’s Tizzy) and a half to GSW Got the Last Laugh (Distorted Humor).
The top weanling of the session was hip 85, a filly from the first crop of G1 Irish Derby and GI Secretariat S. winner Treasure Beach (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), who stands at Joe and Helen Barbazon’s Pleasant Acre Stallions in Florida. Consigned by Pleasant Acres Farm, Agent IV, the bay was scooped up by Gail Thompson for $75,000. Out of Outstanding Henny (Hennessy), a daughter of SW and GSP Outstanding Info (Tactical Advantage), hip 85 was bred in Florida by Patricia Generazio and the Barbazons.
