The April 17 second day of under tack previews went off like clockwork with 70-degree temperatures and a light 5 mph breeze at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training. An Irish import by No Nay Never  breezed the fastest quarter-mile of the second session in :20 4/5.

The colt is consigned as Hip 332 by Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables, agent out of the Naas Juvenile Fillies Sprint Stakes (G3) winner Etoile , by War Front  . Full sister to Criterium International (G1) placed and group 3 winner Ancient Rome  and winner of the March 7 Prix de Gournay at Chantilly. Bred by Coolmore, the colt was purchased by Bregman Family Racing during the Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale last year for $184,683.
