The fourth of seven days of under tack previews at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training took place April 19, seeing a blistering fast :20 1/5 quarter-mile breeze turned in by the All Dreams Equine-consigned filly.
Bred by WinStar Farm in Kentucky, and by their hallmark stallion Speightstown , the filly took to the all-weather track Wednesday, leaving little to be desired after she threw down the fastest quarter seen this week. The bay filly is out of Last Dance , by Revolutionary, and from the prolific family of producer Dance Swiftly, sister to Canadian Horse of the Year Dance Smartly, and half sibling to grade 1 winners Full of Wonder and sire Smart Strike. The unraced Danzig mare produced sire Speightster and stakes winners Paiota Falls and West Coast Swing .
A timely update to the catalog came from her Munnings half sister, Lady Lowery , who added a stakes win in her third start this year at 3 in the Beyond The Wire Stakes at Laurel Park March 18. The Will Walden pupil is campaigned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Gary Barber, and Wachtel Stable, and hasn't been off the board in her three starts.
JC Corp. purchased the juvenile consigned as Hip 618 for $17,000 last year during the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

The second-fastest time at a quarter was clocked in :20 3/5 by an Omaha Beach colt, named Hard Knox. Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables, agent consigns the bay as Hip 617, out of the stakes-placed Tizway mare Lantiz . Bregman Family Racing picked up the pinhook last year during the Fasig-Tipton July Selected Yearlings Sale for $185,000. He was bred in Kentucky by Silesia Farm and Dr. Hartmut H. Malluche.
Six juveniles breezed the co-fastest furlong in :09 4/5 Wednesday.
