Introducing our first foal of 2026- this leggy, handsome colt by 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense out of Lethal Legacy (Unusual Heat). This colt, out of one of my favorite broodmare families, gets us off to a very nice start to the spring. #AuerbachBred #ValkyreStud 🏇💜

Day 1 of @OBSSales April and we’re excited to announce the purchase of Hip 202 a standout colt by @DarleyStallions Maxfield for @FMQStables .
This impressive individual has the ideal physique for route races: big frame, and a typical long distance breeze that looked effortless and full of staying power. The #sealofsuccess is clearly there.
Wishing the team all the best and thank you for the confidence.

What a week! 🤯 This is in all honesty the strongest OBS sale I’ve ever seen & wow did it end with a bang today 💥 This massive striding Mystic Guide colt effortlessly rifled off a 9.4 & clocked in w/ a stride so big it equaled the Flightline. 2 turn colt right here.

🤩 Happy 2️⃣7️⃣th birthday to the legend himself… #MedagliadOro! 🥳🎁🎊🎉

Holy Moly 😱 This Essential Quality x Tiznow colt just smoked a 9.4 🚀 For reference, last year The Puma did 10 flat at this sale and is now one of the Kentucky Derby favorites. If these Essential Qualities have any speed the stamina is usually there. ✈️

🌴Filming some nice ones down here in Ocala. Got this beautiful filly by ESSENTIAL QUALITY today at @paulmsharp's. Virginia-bred is the foal from 5x SW Lorena (Souper Speedy), earner of $334k. Hip 1049 at @OBSSales April - @MonohanSarah @DarleyAmerica

“The Puma is more experienced than Mage and has faced bad starts, premature moves, traffic problems, and very wide trips, yet just keeps getting better and more professional with every race.” THE PUMA 🌹 Steve Haskin’s Kentucky Derby Rankings - Week 11. secretariat.com/2026-kentucky-…

Though they took different paths, both of these Japan-based colts are bound for the GI @KentuckyDerby on the first Saturday in May 🌹 DANON BOURBON, a Kentucky-bred son of @DarleyAmerica's Maxfield, extended his record to a perfect 3-for-3 in Saturday’s Fukuryu Stakes at Nakayama, winning 40 points on the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby. Owned by Danox Co. Ltd. and trained by Manabu Ikezoe, Danon Bourbon earned the Japan Road invitation and is scheduled to arrive at @ChurchillDowns Tuesday, April 21. He was bred by @blueheavenfarm. WONDER DEAN, a Japanese-bred son of Dee Majesty, reeled in pacesetter Six Speed in Saturday’s $1 million G2 UAE Derby at Meydan, the final leg of the Euro/Mideast Road to the Kentucky Derby, and booked his spot in the starting gate at Churchill Downs. A Yoshinari Yamamoto homebred, trained by Daisuke Takayanagi, Wonder Dean arrives in Kentucky this Wednesday. This will be Takayanagi's second trip to the Kentucky Derby following his first experience with T O Password, the Japan Road winner in 2024, who finished a commendable fifth in the first leg of the Triple Crown.
