OBS Carrying Momentum Into Spring Sale
BY BROCK SHERIDAN
    The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company will take
the good momentum generated from their suc-
cessful March Sale into their second juvenile
sale of the year beginning Tuesday with the an-
nual Spring Sale of Two Year Olds in Training.
The Spring Sale, which is recognized as the
world-wide monarch sale of 2-year-olds in train-
ing, will be conducted four days through Friday
with each session staring at 10:30 a.m.
    Hips 1 through 304 will sell Tuesday while
Wednesday’s action will offer Hips 305 – 608.
Thursday will offer Hips 609 – 912 and Friday’s
finale will auction off Hips 913 – 1217.
    “The April sale has become the go to sale for
2-year-old buyers,” OBS president Tom Ventura
said. “I think based on what happened in March,
we are looking forward to picking up where we
left off. I think going into the April sale we will
have participation at all levels.”
    The success of the March Sale is not the
only apparent catalyst for enthusiasm from sale
officials, consignors and buyers. OBS graduates
are generating notable stakes wins at tracks
throughout the country this year.
