An Irish War Cry   filly consigned by Thorostock as Hip 795 breezed an eighth in :09 4/5 to post the fastest work at the distance at the fifth session of the Under Tack Show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales' 2022 June Sale of 2-Year Olds in Training and Horses of Racing Age. She is one of just two horses to cover a furlong in less than :10 over the five under tack shows, the other being Hip 560, who did so earlier in the week.

Hip 795, a half sister to stakes-placed Jamaican Don , is out of the Medallist  mare D D Renegade  from the family of grade 1 stakes winner Lite Light . Jamaican Don ran second in the Maryland Million Nursery Stakes for Maryland-breds at Laurel Park in 2017. Jamaican Don won five of 20 races and earned $117,393.

Irish War Cry, who entered stud in 2019 after earning more than $1.2 million, stands for $6,500 at Northview Stallion Station in Maryland. Two of his progeny have raced, led by She's So Fly , fourth on debut in a maiden special weight race at Laurel Park April 30.

Three horses shared honors for the session's fastest quarter, clocked in :20 4/5. They included: 

  • Hip 783, consigned by Top Line Sales, is a chestnut filly by Bee Jersey   out of group stakes- placed Dance Secretary  (Danehill Dancer ), a half sister to champion Perfect Soul .
  • Hip 823, a dark bay or brown filly by Uncaptured  consigned by Tom McCrocklin, is out of E Built This City , (City Zip ), a half sister to stakes-placed Anyriderill Do .
  • Hip 860, consigned by Brandon and Ali Rice's RiceHorse Stable, is a dark bay or brown colt by Outwork   out of Fade to Black  (Street Cry ) from the family of champion Kitten's Joy  .

One horse worked three furlongs: Hip 792, a son of Good Magic  , who went the distance in :33 3/5. The fastest three-furlong workout of the under tack shows was a :33 1/5 move by a Constitution   colt (Hip 634) June 2. The Bold Arrow Thoroughbreds-consigned Good Magic juvenile is out of Dark Before Dawn (Ghostzapper  ), a half sister to stakes winner Dashing Debby .

Five horses turned in eighths in :10, and a pair of youngsters breezed quarters in :21 1/5 to fall just off the pace of the under tack session time leaders.
