See the OBS Spring sale catalog Last year's OBS April sale produced year-over-year gains in gross as well as a record average. Featured on the cover of the April catalog is Morplay Racing's champion Shisospicy, who became the first 3-year-old filly to win the $1 million Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1T) en route to earning the Eclipse Award as champion female sprinter. The gray or roan filly also became the first champion sired by fellow OBS grad and Eclipse Award winner Mitole, who stands at Spendthrift Farm. Shisospicy was offered at the 2024 OBS April sale by Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds, where she was a $300,000 RNA after breezing a furlong in :09 3/5. She went on to earn more than $2 million. Among the top graduates out of the 2025 OBS April sale were grade 1 winners Cy Fair, Intrepido, and Iron Orchard, all of whom are featured on the back cover. Swinbank Stables, Medallion Racing, Joey Platts, and Mark Stanton's Cy Fair took the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1T), becoming just the second filly to win the race. Cy Fair was an Eclipse Awards finalist for champion 2-year-old filly. The daughter of Not This Time was purchased by Swinbank for $185,000 at last year's OBS April sale out of the Niall Brennan Stables consignment after breezing a furlong in :09 4/5. Also featured on the back cover is Breeders' Cup winner Nysos, along with fellow grade 1 winners Cavalieri, Dark Saffron, Raging Torrent, Skippylongstocking, and Usha.
