OBS March Sale cont. Moynihan concluded, AWe=re a little in shock that he brought that much money, but we=re very excited.@ The topper, who equaled the previous OBS record set by Garifine (Belong to Me) at the 2006 March Sale, was consigned by Raul Reyes=s King=s Equine as hip 333. He was picked up for $115,000 as a FTKOCT yearling on behalf of Reyes= King=s Equine venture, which is made up of five undisclosed partners. Reyes=s previous top seller was a $500,000 Arch filly at the 2005 FTFFEB sale. AReally good horses deserve to sell for that much,@ said an elated Reyes while taking a break from a BBQ celebration back at the barn. AEverybody that picks out good horses was on him. As the sale progressed, I knew that he=d bring over a million dollars based on who was looking at him. He made my job very easy. All you needed to do was treat him right-- he was a very simple horse to train. He was a big kid that was a little Hip 333 bit overweight as a LM yearling. But I could tell that he=d be very good- looking once he grew up.@ The numbers for the two-day sale were impressive. The cumulative average of $158,632 was a March record, and up 15.4% from 2012's sale. The median of $127,500 was also a new top, compared with the previous sale record of $100,000 equaled a year ago and first set in 2008. The buyback percentage was also extremely strong at 22.9%; it was 25% last year. AThere was an appetite for quality horses here and it seemed like if there was anybody in the industry that was looking for one, they were here,@ OBS Director of Sales Tod Wojciechowski commented. AYou have to contribute it to a lot of the consignors stepping their game up and having a lot of nice horses for this sale. The momentum that has been built over the past few years just keeps comingBit=s been an upward spiral effect for this sale. Having a quantity of horses that buyers can spread out on helps--they don=t have to focus on just one or two.@ For the session 83 juveniles brought $15,077,000 for an average of $181,651, up 22.8% from last year. The median soared to $135,000 from $110,000 in 2012. The buyback percentage was 27.2%. AWe thought that there were a few more bullets left for today, and there sure were,@ Wojciechowski continued. AIt was a great two days and a great horse sale. The enthusiasm from the buyers and consignors led to a great day. Everybody knew that the Smart Strike colt was one of the better colts in the sale. I don=t know if you ever go into a sale expecting to get $1.8 million for a horse, but we were really excited for him and happy for Raul and King=s Equine. They do a great job and are deserved of the success.@ For complete stats and results, visit www.obssales.com. -SS P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 3/14/13 • PAGE 4 of 17 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

OBS March cont. War Redux at OBS March... A year ago, a colt by War Front out of the Horse Chestnut (SAf) mare Henna topped OBS March, selling to Frank Fletcher for $800,000. A full-brother to that colt didn=t quite reach those heights yesterday, but still attracted buyers in droves, and ultimately brought the auction=s second-highest price when selling to bloodstock agent Steve Young for $600,000. Young was buying on behalf of an undisclosed client. This year, as with last, the colt was sold by Robert and Mary Harris=s Harris Training Center on behalf of breeder Seth Hancock=s Cherry Valley Farm. AWe=re very honored to sell a horse for such a fine outfit as Mr. Hancock=s,@ said Robbie Harris. AThey raise such a good horse. They always treat them like horses.@ Catalogued as hip 276, the colt breezed an eighth in :10 1/5 at the under-tack show. His full-brother, now named Boss Man Rocket, graduated in his fourth career start in a Fair Grounds maiden special weight Jan. 11 and most recently was third in a Oaklawn Park optional claimer Mar. 10. AHe=s a different type than the brother,@ added Harris. AHe=s more of a two-turn type--he=s stands over more ground, and has a lot more length and stretch to him. We really liked him.@ So did Young, who knows a thing or two about War Fronts. Young has enjoyed a strong run in recent years, and the Claiborne sire has played no small part. Young has purchased, among others, GSW & MGISP Summer Front, a $475,000 buy at the 2011 KEEAPR sale; and Asked if the good War Fronts have a similar look, SW & GSP Doctor Chit, a $375,000 buy at this sale the Young said, AThat's the great thing about that sire. It same year. doesn't really matter what kind of mare they're out of, Young said he was glad to add another War Front and it doesn't really matter what they look like. This into the fold. "He's by the best sire in America, and colt=s a big, strong horse--probably bigger and stronger he's as advertised,@ Young said of the colt. AThe horse than Doctor Chit and Summer Front--but all three have didn't have a real big run to the pole, but had quality. I think some people probably want to compare tremendous mechanics once he got running. I hope he's him to his brother, but he's a better physical than his brave and lucky, but he's a very good horse.@ brother.@ Young said he bid on Boss Man Rocket a year ago, ABut we didn't get that close.@ Click here to access TDN Sales PPs Hancock is the president of Claiborne, and has had remarkable success with the War Front colt=s family. He acquired the colt=s third dam, Nahema (Believe It), for $40,000 at the 1993 Keeneland January Sale. He owned her for four years before selling her in 1997 for $30,000, but not before breeding Questress, a 1994 model by the farm=s Seeking the Gold and the War Front colt=s second dam. From Questress, Hancock bred Grade I winner Pomeroy (Boundary), as well as the War Front colt=s dam Henna. Hancock sold Questress, in foal to Ghostzapper, to Blandford Bloodstock for $925,000 in 2006. -LM OBS March cont. p6
