Four Tie for Fastest Eighth on Day 5 of OBS Spring Under Tack Show

Updated: April 10, 2025

For Immediate Release

The fifth day of the Under Tack show for the 2025 OBS Spring Two-Year-Olds in Training sale saw a quartet of youngsters stand out as they each worked an eighth in :9 4/5 to tie for the fastest time of the day at the distance.

With temperatures in the mid 70s and light wind throughout, two colts and two fillies – all by young sires – shared the top time. Included in the group were:

  • Hip 741, a chestnut filly by Justify out of the Malibu Moon mare Aurora Point consigned by Top Line Sales LLC. Aurora Point is a half-sister to stakes winner and Grade 1 placed Rattlesnake Bridge.
  • Hip 775, a chestnut colt consigned by Scanlon Training & Sales by Essential Quality out of the stakes placed mare Be Sneaky, who is by OBS grad Into Mischief. The colt is from the female family of graded stakes winners Red Ruby, Mo Tom, and Crupi.
  • Hip 788, a bay filly by OBS grad Yaupon out of the stakes winning Astrology mare Big Time consigned by Pick View LLC. Big Time is out of multiple stakes winner Kitty’s Got Class and is a half-sister to multiple stakes winner and graded stakes placed Classy John.
  • Hip 792, a bay colt by Maximus Mischief out of Bless You by Munnings consigned by Grassroots Training & Sales LLC. The colt is from the female family of graded stakes winner Shes All Eltish.

David Scanlon of Scanlon Training & Sales said that while many of the Essential Quality offspring he has seen look like they would benefit from more time, the chestnut colt he prepped has been touting himself as a more mature type.

“(The time) wasn’t surprising from that horse,” Scanlon said. “We’ve just been really high on him all year. He looks like a real 2-year-old type. He’s a real strong horse, big hip, big, gorgeous walk. He’s just a beautiful athlete. He’s a little stronger than some of the Essential Qualities. I think some of them have looked a little more like they’re going to develop later, but he’s much more mature.

“He’s out of an Into Mischief mare and I can see a lot of Into Mischief in him.”
