Mark DeDomenico LLC, John Carver, Peter Abruzzo and Jerry Hollendorfer’s Blind Luck staked her claim to the head of her class, coming from last turning for home and getting up in the final yards to win Saratoga’s $500,000 Alabama Stakes (G1) by a neck. That gives the daughter of Pollard’s Vision five grade one stakes wins, seven graded wins overall, a 13-9-2-2 record and earnings of $1,878,712. She was consigned to the 2009 OBS April Sale by Omega Farm, Agent. more

OBS schedule set for 2011
The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company has finalized its schedule for next year, and will conduct six sales in 2011. The most significant change in the schedule is the consolidation of the February and March Selected Sales of Two-Year-Olds in Training into a single Selected Sale to be held Tuesday and Wednesday, March 15-16, 2011.

“The OBS Selected two-year-old sales have a long history of producing top class racehorses,” said OBS general manager Tom Ventura. “As two-year-old consignors have fewer horses to offer than in years past, OBS will concentrate its efforts in showcasing selected two-year-olds in March. We expect the OBS March Sale to be on the calendars of all serious buyers. Kantharos, a graduate of our 2010 March Sale, is currently at the head of his class after winning Monday’s Saratoga Special (G2), his second graded stakes victory.”

The OBS Championship Stakes races, run in February since 2007, return to their original slot in the calendar and will be run Monday March 14, 2011, the day before the Selected Two-Year-Old Sale.
