The 2-year-old auction season, which has set records at each of its major stops this spring, reaches its denouement with the three-day Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's June 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale which begins Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m.“We hope so,” OBS Director of Sales Tod Wojciechowski said when asked if the June sale could continue the company's record-setting streak. “There are a lot of good horses on the grounds. So far, we have seen a lot of activity in the barns. We are always optimistic.”The OBS March sale opened the season with a record-tying seven million-dollar juveniles, as well as its highest-ever gross. The company's Spring sale in April set highwater marks for gross, average, and median, but those records were largely eclipsed by the auction's $10.5-million sale-topping son of Flightline. And the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May 2-Year-Olds in Training sale recorded its highest gross, average and median in Maryland last month.“I think all you have to do is look at the results every day and see the number of 2-year-old sales graduates that are winning races, breaking their maidens, and winning big stakes races,” Wojciechowski said of the demand for horses. “So I contribute it mainly to the results that people are seeing with horses that they purchase from the 2-year-old sales.”The OBS June sale set its own records a year ago. A filly by Curlin brought the auction's highest-ever price of $975,000, while the two-day sale had its highest average and median.“I think I said a year or two ago that this isn't your father's June sale,” Wojciechowski said. “It's grown up into its own sale. I think as time has pushed sales calendars later in the year, both yearling and 2-year-old sales, that it makes sense that there is a group of horses that are slated for June.”Consignor Jesse Hoppel, who sold his first million-dollar juvenile at the March sale, said he has horses who fit best in the June sale and have been targeted specifically towards the final major sale of the season.“I aim horses for this sale every year,” Hoppel said after sending out a filly by Vekoma (hip 876) to share the quarter-mile bullet time of :20 2/5 during last week's under-tack preview. “Some people come here because it was Plan B. I've got a lot of horses here where it was Plan A all along. The fact that they're standing up doesn't surprise me either. They were meant to come here and do well.”Omar Ramirez is another consignor who had his biggest sale to date this year when he sold a colt by Speaker's Corner for $875,000 at the Spring sale. His 46-head June consignment includes a filly by Central Banker (hip 59) who shared the preview's furlong bullet time of :9 4/5.“This is one of my favorite sales where I always try to bring good horses,” Ramirez said of the June sale. “This sale has always been good to me. And this has been a dream year for me. My clients gave me great horses, they trust me and gave me the opportunity.”In all, 500 horses sold through the ring last June for a gross of $25,553,500. The average was $51,107 and the median was $25,000.After its abbreviated two-day renewal in 2025, when 903 horses were catalogued, the June sale returns to its three-day format in 2026, with 1,057 catalogued juveniles.The June sale continues through Thursday and bidding begins each day at 10:30 a.m.The post Record-Setting 2-Year-Old Auction Season Concludes with OBS June Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
