\nA filly from the first crop of sprint champion Big\u00a0Drama (Montbrook) turned heads with a quarter-mile\u00a0work in :20 3\/5, fastest at last week’s under-tack\u00a0show, and the juvenile duly delivered in the OBS sale’s\u00a0ring Thursday, selling for\u00a0$410,000 to trainer Linda Rice.\u00a0The filly (hip 608) was bred by\u00a0Eddie Woods’s Quarter Pole\u00a0Enterprises, which purchased her\u00a0dam Twilight Mirage (Jeblar) for\u00a0$15,000 at the 2012 OBS\u00a0Winter sale. Woods, better\u00a0known as a juvenile pinhooker\u00a0and consignor, has five\u00a0broodmares scattered between\u00a0Florida, Kentucky and New York.\u00a0AIt’s just something we decided\u00a0to dabble in more than anything\u00a0and it’s gone ok,@ Woods\u00a0explained. AWe ended up with a couple of mares by\u00a0accident, 2-year-olds that got hurt and that had\u00a0pedigrees. We’ve sold a couple of others–we sold a\u00a0horse here last year called My Point Exactly (Concord\u00a0Point) that won a stakes and ran in the GI Florida\u00a0Derby. And then two or three years ago, I sold a\u00a0weanling for $12,500 and it brought $300,000 here in\u00a0April. But that’s part of it.@\u00a0My Point Exactly, out of My Golden Quest\u00a0(Coronado’s Quest), sold for $65,000 at last year’s OBS\u00a0Spring sale. The gray won the Sunday Silence S. at\u00a0Louisiana Downs last September.\u00a0Twilight Mirage, who was in foal to Leroidesanimaux\u00a0{Brz}) at the Winter sale, fit everything Woods was\u00a0looking for three years ago.\u00a0AI bought her off Janie [Roper], who works for me\u00a0here,@ Woods explained. AShe is a really good-looking\u00a0mare and she had a bit of pedigree and she had a horsethat was running a bit on the grass. And she was\u00a0cheap.@\u00a0The stakes-placed mare is also the dam of multiple\u00a0stakes winner Determinato (Closing Argument). Her\u00a0Leroidesanimaux colt sold for $42,000 at last year’s
\nSpring sale.\u00a0The Big Drama filly herself RNA’d for $47,000 at last\u00a0year’s OBS August sale.<\/p>\n

With a straight face, Woods said, AThis one RNA’d as\u00a0a yearling due to me having a bad consignor: Francis\u00a0Vanlangendonck.@ The Irishman then broke into a huge\u00a0grin and added, AI’ve been busting on him all week.@\u00a0He continued, AShe has grown since then. She was a\u00a0petite thing. She is a bit fine-boned and she’s a bit\u00a0straight, just a hair straight. But she grew up classy\u00a0looking. She is still a bit fine-boned, but she went in :20\u00a03\/5. And her video is awesome and she galloped out\u00a0huge and that’s why we do 2-year-old sales. If she goes\u00a0in :21 flat, we’re not having this conversation.@\u00a0Big Drama, who won the 2010 GI Breeders’ Cup\u00a0Sprint and was named that year’s champion sprinter,\u00a0stands for $10,000 at Bridlewood Farm.\u00a0ABig Drama was a good horse and he can get a good\u00a0horse,@ Woods said. AHis 2-year-olds have sold well,\u00a0they sold well in March and there are more that will sell\u00a0well here, I believe. For him to get a nice horse, it’s no\u00a0surprise to me.@\u00a0Big Drama had seven juveniles sell at the OBS March\u00a0sale, highlighted by a filly who brought $270,000.\u00a0The Big Drama filly was Rice’s third purchase of the\u00a0Spring Sale. Rice, who has had a busy spring at the\u00a0juvenile sales while stocking a stable for a newly\u00a0formed syndicate of female investors, also purchased a\u00a0filly by Tizway (hip 488) for $420,000 during\u00a0Wednesday’s session of the Spring sale. Later\u00a0Thursday, she made her fourth purchase when\u00a0acquiring a colt by Summer Bird (hip 801) for\u00a0$210,000. Rice went to $950,000 to acquire a colt by\u00a0Broken Vow at the March sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
