The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company celebrated its 25th annual Day of Champions on Tuesday. In the afternoon's final race, Ice Wine Stable's Here's Johnny battled down the stretch with Canzoni in the $100,000 OBS Championship for colts and geldings and prevailed by a nose in a photo finish. It was a neck back to East Hall in third.
The race was the second victory of the day for the combination of jockey Kent Desormeaux and trainer Wesley Ward, who teamed to win the day's second race with Mark Dodson's Ruslana.
Here's Johnny, a Florida-bred colt by Colonel John, sold for $220,000 by Beth Bayer, agent, at the 2012 OBS August Sale, ran 1 1/16 miles over Tapeta in 1:45 4/5. He's now 7-3-2-0 and has earned $163,381 to date.
William D. McCarty's Naughty Holiday rallied between horses on the far turn of the $100,000 OBS Championship for three-year-old fillies, took the lead turning for home and scored by 1 1/2 lengths over Babe's Ruler. Holiday Magic found room late and rallied for third.
Naughty Holiday, by Harlan's Holiday, trained by David Fawkes and ridden by Javier Castellano, ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:46 3/5. Sold for $40,000 by Niall Brennan Stables, agent, at the 2013 OBS April Sale, Naughty Holiday is now 3-2-1-0 and has earned $92,400.
Ruslana took command at the head of the lane and held off late runs by Henny Jenney and Epic Story to win the $50,000 OBS Sprint for three-year-old fillies, winning by 1 3/4 lengths and running six furlongs in 1:10 4/5.
Sold for $70,000 by Wavertree Stables (Ciaran Dunne), agent, at the 2013 OBS April Sale, the daughter of City Zip is now 5-2-1-0 and has earned $76,115.
Rustlewood Farm's Prudhoe Bay saved ground under a heady ride by Paco Lopez, got through on the rail in the stretch and won the $50,000 OBS Sprint for three-year-old colts and geldings by a neck over Breitling Flyer, with Can't Stop the Kid two lengths back in third.
The Florida-bred colt by Songandaprayer, who ran six furlongs in 1:10, was consigned by Summerfield, agent, to the 2012 OBS August Sale. The win leaves him with a 3-2-0-0 record and $56,535 in earnings.
