Baoma Corp went to $900,000 to acquire HIMIKA (Curlin) just two months ago at OBS April after the filly worked in a co-fastest :9.4. Bred by Klaravich Stables, she is the first foal out of stakes-placed Motivated Seller (Into Mischief), who set a new track record at Saratoga in 2021 going 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:02.48. Himika signaled her readiness with a near-bullet four-furlong work June 7 in :46 4/5 (2/74). TJCIS PPS

First-crop stallion Charlatan will be represented Thursday by Southeastern, also an OBS grad from the March sale when he brought $660,000. Stakes-winning first dam Miss Interpret, who sold with Southeastern in utero for $400,000 at KEENOV in 2022, is a half-sister to the dam of GISP 'TDN Rising Star' River Thames (Maclean's Music). This is the family of MGISW Paulassilverlining (Ghostzapper) and MGISW Dads Cap (Discreet Cat). TJCIS PPS
