Front and Center: Epicenter Colt Brings $1.95 Million to Lead Way at OBS April

Hip 289 | OBS/VidHorse

A colt from the first crop of Epicenter brought $1.95 million from bloodstock agent Justin Casse on behalf of Amo Racing and partners to lead the way at Tuesday's first session of the OBS Spring 2-Year-Old in Training sale.

Hip 289 breezed in a bullet :9 4/5 at the under-tack show and was consigned by Wavertree Stables, Inc. (Ciaran Dunne), Agent IV.

“His performance was exceptional,” said Casse, who signed the ticket as McElroy & Casse / AMO. “We could look back through the years of being here and you'd say remember that Epicenter when he breezed. It was that kind of a move.”

He continued, “He's beautiful. He was beautiful in Saratoga when Ciaran bought him. He's been good to me as a breeder and I am hearing good things.”

Bred in Kentucky by Wynnstay and H. Allen Poindexter, Hip 289 was previously a $275,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling purchase by Havertz Stables.

He was produced by the winning Animal Kingdom mare Spanx Legacy.
