A son of Ocala Stud's freshman sire Girvin   (Hip 1004) consigned by Jesse Hoppel's Coastal Equine as agent, worked the fastest quarter-mile in :20 3/5 during the April 15 sixth session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale's under tack show. The work was the third-fastest time overall at the distance so far, with the final under tack session to be held April 16.

The bay Girvin colt is out of the winning Smarty Jones mare Sarah Cataldo, making him a half brother to stakes-winning OBS graduate Tiger Blood  (Cowtown Cat  ) and stakes-placed winner Smarten Up  (American Freedom  ).

Five horses shared honors for the session's fastest eighth-mile works of :09 4/5.
