NY-bred colt by Yes It’s True tops open session of OBS winter mixed sale

By Sarah Mace

The top-seller in the open session of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s 2017 winter mixed sale – and top-selling New York-bred in the two days of trading –was Hip 490[1], a short yearling by Yes It’s True. The bay was bred by Machmer Hall in partnership with Saratoga Glen Farm LLC and foaled on May 7, 2016 at Saratoga Glen Farm[2] in Schuylerville.

Hip 490 was purchased by Zachary Kilgus for $28,000 from the consignment of Select Sales, Agent VI. He is the fifth foal out of Datttcatsgotrhythm, an unplaced Kentucky-bred daughter of Tale of the Cat who has produced two winners.

Datttcatsgotrhythm, whom the colt’s breeders bought for $11,000 at the 2010 Keeneland November sale, is a half sister to graded stakes performer Tenfold, by Tiznow, and multiple stakes performer Cascabella. The colt’s third dam, La Chaposa, by Ups, was a multiple Group 1-winning champion sprinter in Peru and her family boasts multiple Grade 1 winner Chaposa Springs and Grade 1 winner You and I

The next sale on the OBS calendar is the March sale of 2-year-olds in training, scheduled for March 14-15. The under tack show is set for March 9-11, beginning each morning at 8:00 a.m.
