OBS Postpones Jan. 24 Under Tack Show Until 10 A.M.

The start of the Under Tack Show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's Winter Mixed Sale's Horses of Racing Age Section has been moved back one hour to 10:00 a.m. ET Jan. 24 due to a forecast of unseasonably cold temperatures early in the day.

There are 115 horses cataloged in the Racing Age section, with hip numbers 251-329 in the original printed Winter Mixed Sale catalog. A printed supplemental catalog, including Racing Age supplements hip numbers 330-362, is now available at the sales grounds and may be viewed on the OBS website. Additional Racing Age supplements hip numbers 363-365 have been added. Their catalog pages can also be viewed on the website and are available in printed form at the sales office.

Highlighting the supplemental catalog is Hip 349, Fifth Anniversary , a 3-year-old daughter of Runhappy  —My Lady Lauren , by Hard Spun  . She was second in the Woodbine Cares Stakes last year and a winner of a Gulfstream Park allowance optional claiming race Jan. 19 on the track's new synthetic surface in track-record time for about five furlongs (:55.90). 

The Under Tack Show will be streamed live via the OBS website at obssales.com and via the Blood-Horse website. The Under Tack Show will be recorded and can be viewed on the website, in its entirety or by individual hip number. Videos will also be available in the Video Room as well as several kiosks in the breezeway and covered walking ring. Visitors to Ocala will find the videos available for in-room viewing at The Courtyard by Marriott, Holiday Inn & Suites, Homewood Suites, Hampton Inn & Suites, Residence Inn, and the Ocala Hilton, plus lounge viewing is available at the Hilton. Under Tack Show results are posted on the OBS website.

The Winter Mixed Sale catalog can be viewed via the OBS website. The website's searchable and sortable master index provides links to under tack videos, pedigree and consignor information as well as pedigree updates occurring since the catalog was printed. It has also been updated to allow shortlist creation. A link to instructions for using the new features can be found in the index header and a step-by-step tutorial is available in the index as well.

The iPad version of the entire catalog is available via the Equineline Sales Catalog app. The app allows users to download and view the catalog, record notes and also provides innovative search, sort, and rating capability.
