Fillies blaze in second OBS under tack session

Fillies blaze in second OBS under tack session

A gray filly by Exchange Rate sped one furlong in :9 4/5 on

Monday, the fastest work at the distance on the second day of the under tack

show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's March Sale of Selected

Two-Year-Olds in Training. The Florida-bred filly, cataloged as Hip No. 276,

hails from the consignment of Niall Brennan Stables, agent, and is out of the

winning Dispersal mare, Disperse a Star, who is a half-sister to the multiple

black-type earner South Vigorous (End Sweep), who was based throughout his

career in Japan. Disperse a Star has already produced two winners from as many

to race.

The two-year-old filly previously sold for $70,000 at the 2007 OBS August

Yearling Sale.

Hip 448, a bay filly by Yonaguska, turned in the

fastest quarter-mile work of the session in :20 4/5. Consigned by Niall

Brennan Stables, agent for W.D. North and Niall Brennan Stables, the

Florida-bred juvenile is out of the winning Afternoon Deelites mare Noon Time

Dancer, who is out of the stakes-producing mare Dancing Naturally (Fred Astaire).

Noon Time Dancer has two stakes winning half-sisters, Indian War Dance and Bare

Dancer, who are both by Cherokee Run.

The Yonaguska miss previously fetched

$17,000 as a weanling at the 2006 OBS October Sale, and $37,000 at last

year's OBS

August auction.

The fastest three-furlong breeze of Tuesday's session, :33 3/5, belonged to another gray filly, who is part of the consignment

of Shadybrook Farm, agent. The Kentucky-bred daughter of Tapit is cataloged as Hip 440, and is out of the

multiple Grade 3-placed mare My White Corvette (Tarr Road). She is a

half-sister to two winners.

The filly previously sold for $50,000 at the 2007 Keeneland September

Yearling Sale.

The second under tack show, originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday, is

now consolidated into a single under tack preview on Saturday, beginning at 9

a.m. (EDT). The sale itself will take place on March 18 and 19, beginning at 11 a.m. each day.
