A filly by Forty Niner stallion Gold Fever breezed a quarter-mile in an eye-catching :21 1/5 to top the OBSC selected 2-year-olds in training sale at Calder Race Course on Sunday.
Consigned by Hoby and Layna Kight, the dark bay or brown filly is from the third crop of Grade 1 winner Gold Fever and is the second foal of racing age out of the Tasso mare So Obvious. She was purchased by Kight for $45,000 at the OBS August sale. During the first under-tack show Jan. 27, she breezed an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5.
A filly from the first crop of Exploit and an In Excess filly each breezed an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5 to tie for the fastest moves at the distance.
