As in 2018, the OBS June Sale will complete another successful juvenile sale season, which began with a strong March sale topped by a $2-million colt by Tapit and a $1.2-million son of Pioneerof the Nile. The April Sale shattered records in every statistical category, highlighted by a $1.3-million colt by Into Mischief, a $1.2-million son of Liam’s Map and a $1-million filly by Quality Road.

The sale results reflect the success at the racetrack enjoyed by OBS juvenile sales graduates who have produced 74 graded stakes wins since the beginning of 2018.

Eleven horses have already come out of the March Sale and found the winners’ circle, highlighted by Breeze Easy, LLC’s Karak, heading for Royal Ascot after beating the boys in a five furlong maiden special weight dash on the turf at Belmont on May 25. Trained by Wesley Ward, the 2-year-old daughter of Karakontie (JPN), the first winner for her sire, was sold for $365,000 by All Dreams Equine, Agent, after breezing an eighth in :9 4/5 at the Under Tack Show. watch her under tack video

Bernsen LLC’s Stormy Liberal, back to back winner of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) and 2018’s Eclipse Award winner as champion turf male. The now 7-year-old son of Stormy Atlantic has amassed a 33-12-10-2 career record and earned over $2.1-million to date. He breezed an eighth in :10 2/5 at the Under Tack Show at the 2014 Sale before he was purchased for $100,000 out of the Wavertree Stables consignment. watch his under tack video
