Top Bids at OBS Winter Mixed Sale Highlight Racing Prospects

The OBS Winter Mixed Sale in Ocala, Florida, commenced its central Florida sales season on January 23, with a Mitole colt achieving the highest sale of the day at $95,000, bought by Calumet Farm. Consigned by Danielle Loya's Silver Oaks Farm as Hip 87, this colt, bred by Kathie Maybee, is a promising prospect, being the third foal out of winning Terrell mare Wild Hickory.

Wild Hickory, related to multiple graded stakes winner Alert Bay, has a successful lineage, adding value to the colt's prospects. The colt's sibling, Devilish Desire, trained by Mark Glatt, has consistently performed on the West Coast.
