$2.3 million filly tops Ocala sale

A filly from the first crop of champion sprinter Jackie’s Warrior became the second highest‑priced juvenile ever sold at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company Spring 2‑Year‑Olds in Training Sale when she brought a final bid of US$2.3 million.

Through two sessions, 314 horses have sold for a gross of US$50,655,000, with an average of US$161,322 – up 13 per cent from the same stage of the 2025 sale and 15.8 per cent higher than last year’s record cumulative average. The median of US$80,000 is up 33.3 per cent year‑on‑year.

The Jackie’s Warrior filly, consigned by Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds, was purchased by Fitriani Hay and led a group of three seven‑figure juveniles sold so far, all by first‑crop sires.

“This one will go to Wesley Ward and she’ll stay in America,” agent Alex Cole said. “She’ll go to Keeneland. Wesley recommended her. Fitriani has a lot of horses in the U.K. and a lot of horses at Keeneland.”

A colt from the first crop of multiple Grade 1 winner Cyberknife was secured with a final bid of US$1.2 million from West Point Thoroughbred’s Terry Finley.
