The first day of the March 14-15 OBS March Selected Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale yielded stellar results for Super Saver when hip No. 153 sold for $625,000 to Kerri Radcliffe, agent.
The colt consigned by de Meric Sales, agent had generated plenty of pre-sale buzz after his scintillating breeze in :20 1/5 seconds for a quarter mile, equal the fastest time ever at the distance at OBS.
“He’s the fastest horse we’ve ever had in our consignment,” Tristan de Meric said of the work. “(Pate) bought him and did a great job getting him ready and he’s been telling us for a couple of months this is the fastest horse he’s had in 35 years of training. He’s a natural athlete. The horse had prepped unbelievably and did even better in the breeze show.”
The colt showed just as well in the ring, with the WinStar bred finishing as the sixth-highest priced colt of the day. The bay juvenile is out of the stakes-placed More Than Ready mare Sandi’s Ready.
