Description:
Fifty-one yearlings are the heart of the Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders & Owners Mixed Sale that will be held Oct. 15 starting at 2:30 p.m. at the Delaware County Fairgrounds outside Columbus, Ohio. A total of 94 horses have been cataloged and also include 16 2-year-olds and 11 weanlings.
The Ohio-bred yearlings being offered are by Kentucky-based sires such as Dialed In , Liam's Map , and freshman sire Army Mule . Ohio-based sires represented include Itsmyluckyday , National Flag , Fort Larned , and 2020 Ohio Stallion of the Year Mobil .
"The overall talent offered in this OTBO Mixed Sale catalog will almost certainly bring similar energy seen at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale," said Ohio-based bloodstock agent Tony Fischbach of Donnybrook Bloodstock. "The quality of this year's Ohio-bred yearlings is well-above what we've seen in recent years…which shows the commitment of Ohio's breeders to breed better and better racehorses."
A new race has been created to add value to OTBO Mixed Sale graduates. The inaugural OTBO Sales Graduate Stakes will be run March 5, 2022, at Mahoning Valley Racetrack. The six-furlong race with an estimated purse of $50,000 is open to all Ohio-bred/accredited 3-year-olds that pass through any OTBO sale from 2019 forward, including the 2 year olds entered this year.
Online bidding will be available. A full catalog can be found on the OTBO website.
