The June Sale's catalog covers are a testament to the recent accomplishments of the sale's graduates.

George Krikorian's multimillionaire War Like Goddess , pictured on the front cover, has racked up eight graded stakes wins, including the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1T) and Flower Bowl Stakes (G1T). The 6-year-old daughter of English Channel  won her third consecutive Bewitch Stakes (G3T) on closing day at Keeneland. War Like Goddess was consigned to the 2019 OBS June Sale by Hemingway Racing & Training Stables and sold for $30,000 after turning in an Under Tack eighth in :10 2/5. Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, she has compiled a 10-1-2 career record from 14 starts and earned $2,158,184.

The back cover features six 2023 graded stakes-winning OBS June graduates.

Michael Lund Petersen's Adare Manor , a graded stakes winner at 3 and 4, recently captured the Santa Maria Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita Park and won the Las Virgenes (G1) last year over the same track.

Andrew N. Warren and Rania Warren's Raise Cain  earned a berth in the Kentucky Derby (G1) with a 7 1/2-length victory in the $300,000 Gotham Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct Racetrack in March. The 3-year-old colt by Violence  , consigned to the 2022 OBS June Sale by Eisaman Equine, agent, went through the ring after breezing an Under Tack eighth in :10 3/5.
