A total of 994 horses–980 2-year-olds and 14 horses of racing age–have been catalogued for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's June 2-Year-Olds In Training and Horses of Racing Age Sale, to be held Wednesday through Friday, June 12-14.
The under-tack show and sale itself have both been moved forward by one day to facilitate inspection and travel time for those horsepeople attending the Belmont S. at Saratoga the week prior.
Hips 1-350 are set to go under the hammer during the opening session and a similar number of horses will be offered during day two of trade (hips 351-700). On the final day of the sale June 14, hips 701-980 and supplements will take their turn, and hips 1101-1114–the HORA section–will complete the auction. Supplemental entries close May 22, 2024 at noon ET.
The sale's under-tack preview will take place over the course of six days, Tuesday, June 4 through Sunday, June 9, with all sessions beginning at 7:30 a.m. ET. The breakdown by hip number will be released following the closing of supplemental entries. The breeze shows will be streamed live at the TDN homepage.
Graduates of the June Sale include Adare Manor (Uncle Mo), a $375,000 purchase by owner Michael Lund Petersen and impressive winner of the GI Apple Blossom H. in April; War Like Goddess (English Channel), a $30,000 acquisition by owner George Krikorian out of the 2019 sale and a three-time Grade I winner; and Grade II-winning millionaire Webslinger (Constitution), bought by DJ Stable for $50,000 in 2022 and a latest third in the GI Old Forester Turf Classic, his third such elite-level placing.
