Hip No. 692, GARDEN CIDER (Forbidden Apple) zipped an eighth-of-a-mile in :9
3/5 to post the fastest time at the distance at the second session of the Ocala
Breeders’ Sales Company’s under tack show for the 2009 Spring Sale of

timer in :20 2/5. The first to do so was ISHMAEL (Scrimshaw). Now consigned by
Hayden Thoroughbreds LLC (Rebecca Hayden), agent, as Hip 461, the dark bay is
out of Preciosa (Level Sands). Later on, Hip 608, a chestnut colt by Pico
Central (Brz), went two furlongs in the same time. Out of Sez Who’s Gold (Gold
Fever), the Ontario-bred is consigned by Casse Sales LLC, agent, and comes from
the same family as leading sire Halo and three-time champion Tosmah.
The day’s fastest three-eighths was turned in by SENDMETO THE CITY (City
Place). Consigned by All in Sales (Tony Bowling), agent, as Hip 604, the bay
colt posted a time of :33 1/5. He is out of Sendmesomeroses (Skip Trial), who is
a half-sister to Group 2 winner Silver Wisp (Silver Hawk).
