Two juveniles consigned by Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables were among the quickest the sixth day of the under tack show at OBS
Two juveniles shared the day's fastest furlong workout time of :09 3/5 and another zipped a quarter-mile in :20 2/5 April 21 to top the sixth session of under tack previews at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training.
Hip 967, a bay Into Mischief colt consigned by Wavertree Stables, and Hip 1012, a chestnut Speightstown filly consigned by Scanlon Training & Sales, as agent for Bruno deBerdt's Excel Bloodstock, were the fastest workers at an eighth of a mile. Wavertree also consigned the quickest worker over two furlongs, Hip 1024, a dark bay or brown Nyquist filly.
Hip 967 is out of the multiple stakes-winning Ministers Wild Cat mare Singing Kitty , who was also stakes-placed at the grade 3 level. He is a half brother to Social Dilemma (Medaglio d'Oro), a winner of more than $186,000.
Last year, the Into Mischief colt was a $300,000 purchase by Red Wings Enterprises from the September Yearling Sale at Keeneland, where Eaton Sales consigned him for breeder Spendthrift Farm.
Hip 1012 is the second foal out of a black-type mare, Spooky Woods (Ghostzapper ). The dam placed in the Santa Ysabel Stakes (G3) and another stakes race during her racing career. Her prior foal to race, Spooky Road (Quality Road ), is a four-time winner with earnings of more than $146,000.
Bred by Yeguada Centurion S.L., Hip 1012 sold for $135,000 at Keeneland when consigned by Nicky Drion Thoroughbreds to the September Yearling Sale. Bruno DeBerdt and Scanlon Training and Sales purchased her.
Hip 1024 has a pedigree that is likely to interest buyers, being a half sister to Affirmative Lady (Arrogate), recent winner of the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) and a candidate for the May 5 Kentucky Oaks (G1) at Churchill Downs.

She was also purchased by Red Wings Enterprises at the 2022 September Yearling Sale at Keeneland, selling for $170,000, where Hartwell Farm consigned the Alastar Thoroughbred-bred filly.
