Kantharos Filly Fires Bullet at OBS June Under Tack

The third of six under tack shows went off June 7 at Ocala Breeders' Sales for the June 2-Year-Olds and Horses of Racing Age Sale, with one juvenile breezing a bullet furlong in :09 4/5. Two horses clocked a quarter-mile in :20 3/5 to be the quickest at the distance Wednesday.

The Kantharos   filly, Hip 431, sped down the track at about 10:16 a.m. ET this morning, while the day was heating up for her consignor Cruzin' Thoroughbreds, to be the fastest of the day, working an eighth-mile in :09 4/5. River Oak Farm bred the bay in Kentucky and transferred ownership through the Keeneland September Sale last year for $17,000 to Laura Kelton. The April-born filly is the first foal out of the unraced Ghostzapper   mare Souper Colket, sibling to stakes-placed Souper Highvoltage  and Quality G . Under the third dam is the three-time grade 2-winning sire Blofeld  .

Eight other juveniles breezed an eighth in :10 flat, including Hip 155, a Leofric   filly consigned by Thorostock; GOP Racing Stable Corp.'s Bucchero   colt, Hip 423; Hip 425, a colt by Flatter consigned by Omar Ramirez Bloodstock; the Two Oaks Equine Hip 426 Practical Joke   filly; the Classic Empire   colt, Hip 437, for Chuy Ceballos; Caliente Thoroughbreds' West Coast   filly, Hip 477; the filly consigned as Hip 489 by The Factor   for ABG Warrior Racing Stable; and the Paul Sharp-consigned Hip 490 filly by Vino Rosso  , named Just a Sip.

Breezing a quarter mile in :20 3/5 Wednesday, the Wavertree Stables-consigned colt by Blame   turned in the co-fastest time. The juvenile is out of the winning Quality Road   mare Soul Spirit, a half sibling to grade 3 winner Journey Home . The colt was bred in Kentucky by Don Alberto and will be making his third trip through the sales ring next week after first selling for $190,000 to Sewanne Bloodstock as a weanling during the Keeneland November Sale and then again the following year at the same venue's September Sale for $210,000 to consignor Ciaran Dunne.

The Bee Jersey   filly, named Tale of La Bee, consigned as Hip 495 by Triple J Equine Sales turned in the top time at a quarter-mile for her consignor; she comes from the fast family of La Comete, producer of leading sire Munnings   and grade 2-placed Munnings Sister , as well as the family of grade 1 victress Icon Project  and grade 2 winner Lasting Approval . The filly came from the breeding program of Charles Fipke in Kentucky and was a $4,500 RNA at the Keeneland September Sale last year.

Three other individuals clocked the second-fastest quarter-mile in :20 4/5, including Hoppel's Horse & Cattle Co.'s Astern  colt, Hip 374; the Medaglia d'Oro   filly, Hip 493, from Ocala Stud; and the Eddie Woods-consigned Hip 494 filly by More Than Ready, named Morethantaleclass.

The under tack show continues Thursday, beginning at 7:30 a.m. ET with Hips 541-720 to take to the track. Breezing continues through June 10, and the three-day sale begins June 13. The tack show can be live-streamed here, and replays can be found online.
