Regardless, a victory here could add to the already expected fireworks when she goes through the auction ring this fall. And speaking of the Breeders' Cup, could the Pacific Classic's male contenders pose a threat to Bob Baffert's trainee American Pharoah down the road at Keeneland?

August year- Lling sale registered a 23% increase in the num- ber of yearlings offered, which caused the average and median to drop 14% and 25%, respectively. This year's sale, scheduled for Aug. 25-27, appears poised for a rebound as OBS has reverted the cat- alog back to the size of its successful 2013 auction. "We have over 800 horses in this sale, so I wouldn't describe it as a boutique sale," said Tod Wojciechowski, director of sales at OBS. "But this sale has improved, and that's through consignors who are bringing quality horses." OBS August follows Fasig-Tipton's strong July and Saratoga yearling sales on the calendar, and Wojciechowski anticipates the demand seen for top offerings at those sales to carry over to Ocala. "It's the evolution of the marketplace," he said. "The competition for good horses is strong, and buyers recognize that eliminating this sale from their calendar would cut themselves out from an opportunity at a lot of good horses."

    141st Longines Kentucky Oaks Post-Race News Conference Friday, May 1, 2015 Churchill Downs JOHN ASHER: At the podium, is Dr. Keith Latson. He is the American Association of Equine Practitioners on-call veterinarian for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. We're very happy to have Dr. Latson here. He was here with us last year and back with us here, succeeding Dr. Larry Bramlage in that job. Number 11, Sarah Sis, pulled up and did not finish in the Kentucky Oaks. And Dr. Latson has come forward. We appreciate him stopping by to give us an update on her condition. Again, this regards Number 11, Sarah Sis, who did not finish in the Kentucky Oaks. Dr. Latson. DR. KEITH LATSON: Thanks, John. Gary Stevens eased Sarah Sis to a stop about midstretch because she just didn't feel right to him. Nothing specific that he could identify while he was on top of her. She just didn't feel right. He hopped off, and Dr. Will Farmer attended to Sarah Sis immediately. And it was obvious that she was standing on all four legs comfortably, no apparent injury to any of her limbs. She walked comfortably to be loaded on the equine ambulance where Dr. Liz Santschi attended to her for the ride back to the barn. When she was unloaded from the ambulance at the barn, Dr. Foster Northrop had a look at her. And she was still walking. Sarah Sis was still walking comfortably in the barn and was being treated for mild heat exhaustion. So it was a precautionary measure to take her back in the ambulance and for Gary Stevens to wrap up on her and ask her to stop.
