Mitole filly, colts by Practical Joke and Solomini highlight OBS June final session

A pair of New York-breds sold for six figures – including a daughter of champion Mitole – to highlight the final session of the OBS June sale of 2-year-olds in training Wednesday in Ocala.

Nick Hines, agent, went to $110,000 to land Hip 632[2], a filly by Mitole out of the winning Ghostzapper mare Owl Moon that wound up sharing top honors as leading New York-bred of the sale.

Bred by Sequel Thoroughbreds LLC and Chris Baccari and consigned by de Meric Sales, agent, the filly originally sold for $80,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale. She’s the seventh foal out of Owl Moon, who is the dam of stakes-placed winner Blue Strike and $269,631-earner Evie’s Prince, runner-up in the recent Grade 1 Beverly R. Steinman Hurdle Handicap at Saratoga Race Course.

The $110,000 price matched what Good Ole Boy Investments paid for Hip 340[3], a filly from the second crop of Higher Power out of the unraced Lemon Drop Kid mare Gold Anklet, during the opening session Tuesday. Bred by Everythings Cricket Racing and consigned by Hernandez Stables Inc., the filly is a half-sister to four winners led by stakes-placed Little Daddy and the unraced Uncle Mo mare Mo Joy, dam of graded stakes-winning New York-bred Mo Plex.

Hip 461[4], a colt by Practical Joke out of the stakes-winning Banker’s Gold mare Jb’s Golden Regret, went for $100,000 to Lane’s End Bloodstock, agent for West Point Thoroughbreds.

Bred by Barry Ostrager and consigned by Ordonez Thoroughbreds, agent, the colt is a half-brother to nine winners out of the mare including stakes winner Retonova and stakes-placed winners Golden Code, Gypsum Johnny and E J’s Legacy. Jb’s Golden Regret is also the dam of a colt by Corniche bred by Ostrager and foaled April 10 in New York.

Hip 484[6], a colt by Solomini and half-brother to multiple stakes winner My Shea D Lady, commanded the top price for a juvenile by a New York-based sire on a bid of $60,000 from Tom McCrocklin.

Bred by and foaled at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds LLC in Saratoga Springs and consigned by McMahon of Saratoga, the colt is out of the Teuflesberg mare Ladyberg. My Shea D Lady won the Fifth Avenue division of the New York Stallion Series Stakes in 2023 and the Statue of Liberty division of the NYSS in 2024. She won three of 11 start and earned $497,680.

Solomini, a 10-year-old son of Curlin out of the Storm Cat mare Surf Song, stands for $7,500 at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs. Currently ranked third on the New York general sire list, Solomini topped the Empire State’s freshman sire list in 2023.
