OBS August sale moved back one day

The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's 2010 August Selected Yearling Sale will

be held on August 24, a day later than previously scheduled. The Selected

session will begin at 1:00 p.m. (EDT) instead of the customary 10:30 a.m.

"We are making these changes for the convenience of our buyers," OBS general

manager Tom Ventura said. "The extra day will give horsemen more time for travel

after the weekend stakes races and the later starting time will permit more time

for pre-sale inspection."

Two hundred horses have been cataloged for the Selected Sale, with 701 in the

Open Sale. The Open Yearling Sale is scheduled for August 25-26, with each

session beginning at 10:30 a.m. Hip No.'s 201-550 will be sold on August 25; Hip

No.'s 551-901 sell on August 26.

The sale features yearlings by a strong mix of proven and promising sires.

Leading sires Unbridled's Song and Tiznow are represented, as are Indian

Charlie, Tapit, Empire Maker, Malibu Moon and Candy Ride (Arg). Promising

first-crop sires Street Sense, Hard Spun and Any Given Saturday have yearlings

in the sale, as do rising stars Bluegrass Cat, Scat Daddy, Silver Train and

Rockport Harbor. D'wildcat heads a strong group of Florida-based stallions,

including Wildcat Heir, Montbrook, Put It Back, With Distinction, Trippi and

Congrats.

The catalog should be available on the OBS website at

obssales.com later this week, with catalogs in the mail before the

end of July.
