Spring Mountain breezes quickest quarter in :21 at final OBS under tack SPRING MOUNTAIN (Monashee Mountain), consigned as Hip No. 1094, breezed the fastest quarter-mile in :21 on Friday in the fourth and final under tack show prior to next week's Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training. The Florida-bred bay colt, entered in the sale by Robert Smith Racing and Sales, agent, is out of the unraced Spring (Stravinsky), who is a half-sister to Grade 3-placed Throne (King of Kings [Ire]). Spring Mountain's third dam, Hidden Glance (Gentle Smoke), was responsible for producing Elegant Glance (Loose Cannon), who was the 1995 Broodmare of the Year in Argentina as dam of Argentinean champion and multiple Grade/Group 1-winning sire Gentlemen (Arg) (Robin des Bois). A bay colt by Black Mambo sped the fastest three furlongs in :33 2/5 during Friday's session. Consigned by Shadybrook Farm Inc. (Michael Yates), agent, as Hip 1294, the Florida-bred colt is out of the winning Willa (Mountain Cat) and comes from the same family as Grade 2 heroine March Magic (Evansville Slew). He sold for $20,000 as an OBS August yearling. Eight juveniles posted the quickest eighth, getting the distance in :10. Hip 1038, a dark bay filly by Northern Afleet, was among those turning in that sharp time. The Kentucky-bred lass is out of the winning Singapore Sting (Dayjur), who is herself a daughter of 1983 champion older mare and Grade 1 victress Ambassador of Luck (What Luck). The filly, who is a half-sister to the stakes-placed Singapore Thunder (Thunder Gulch), was entered in the sale by O & H Bloodstock (Terry Oliver and Bo Hunt), agent, and brought $14,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Midlantic yearling. Hip 1055, LOTTAEXPECTATIONS (Littleexpectations), is a chestnut colt out of multiple-stakes placed Snooker (Pool Court) and from the same family as stakes winners Victory Pool (Victory Gallop) and Humorously (Distorted Humor). Consigned by W.D. North Thoroughbreds, the Texas-bred saw the gavel fall at $14,000 as a Texas August yearling. A bay filly by Officer, consigned by Jennifer Maselli, agent, as Hip 1078, also went a furlong in :10. The Kentucky-bred miss is out of multiple stakes queen Spanish Glitter (Glitterman) and is a half-sister to the stakes-placed Mount Glitter (Mt. Livermore). She sold earlier this year for $22,000 as a Keeneland January two-year-old. Likewise earning a share of the bullet was Hip 1117, a dark bay filly by City Zip consigned by Eddie Woods, agent. The Florida-bred filly is out of the unraced Sugar Cake (Forest Wildcat) and from the same black-type rich family as Grade 3 winner Crackedbell (Private Account). SEJANO (Posse), consigned as Hip 1142 by Sequel Bloodstock (Becky Thomas), agent, went an eighth in :10. The Kentucky-bred filly is out of the winning Sweet Tejano (Tejano) and from the same family as Italian Group 2 queen Capricorn Belle (GB) (Nonoalco). Sejano sold for $32,000 as a Keeneland November weanling. O & H Bloodstock, agent, also consigned Hip 1162, a bay filly by Deputy Wild Cat, who went an eighth in :10. The Florida-bred, who only brought $2,500 as an OBS August yearling, is out of the unraced Thats Amore (Danzatore) and counts Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) hero and champion Squirtle Squirt (Marquetry) in her female line. The final two listed to have breezed the quickest furlong were Hips 1273 and 1276, both Kentucky-breds. The former, a dark bay colt by Orientate out of Violet Lady (Seattle Slew), was consigned by Ricky Leppala, agent. He is a half-brother to stakes winner Caballero Negro (Formal Gold) and three stakes-placed performers, and his second dam is Grade 1-winning millionaire Top Corsage (Topsider). The latter is a chestnut colt from the first crop of Cuvee out of the winning Wacissa (Boundary). Offered by Wavertree Stables Inc. (Ciaran Dunne), agent, the juvenile is a half-brother to stakes winner Courting Seattle (Doneraile Court) and sold for $40,000 as a Keeneland November weanling.
