Unbridled's Song Filly Jump Starts OBS Thursday

The OBS June sale jumped into high gear early in Thursday's third session with a filly by Unbridled's Song selling to Paul Pompa, Jr. for $500,000. Bloodstock agent Nick Sallusto, on the phone with Pompa, signed the ticket. The filly, who worked a co-bullet furlong in :9 4/5 last week, is out of Miss Abita (Dixie Union). The mare is a half-sister to the dam of ill-fated GI Kentucky Derby runner-up Eight Belles (Unbridled's Song). Bobby Dodd consigned the juvenile, who was purchased by Brad Grady's Grand Oaks for $200,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale.
