๐๏ธ โHOW ABOUT NOW conquers in The Cleopatra!โ
The daughter of Not This Time split fillies with determination in the final furlong with @a_concepcion16 for George โRustyโ Arnold to record her first BT win. The winner was bred in Kentucky by owner Summer Wind Equine (Jane Lyon). She broke her maiden the start prior @keenelandracing. The favorite EAST JABIP finished fifth of the 10 in the headliner.
New stakes winner for Summer Wind's racing stable! Homebred How About Now (Not This Time) also becomes 2nd stakes winner for dam A Star Is Born (Galileo), who is full sister to European champion/sire Rip Van Winkle. Thank you to trainer Rusty Arnold & jockey Axel Concepcion โญ๏ธ๐

Sixth stakes victory in 9 career starts for Mythical! She is by Summer Wind homebred St Patrick's Day & out of Summer Wind's Lailoni, a mating planned again for this season
The bay on the outside is Summer Wind-bred son of #Flightline out of Gloryzapper (Ghostzapper), the 2nd dam of Kentucky Derby contender Chief Wallabee. Looking good! Ready to fly! ๐Thx for the video!
These Flightlines continue to dazzle. ๐ซ

Congratulations to Wathan Racing on this maiden special weight win by Summer Wind-bred Double Act, 3yo colt by Into Mischief o/o MGSW Golden Award (Medaglia d'Oro)! He is an $850k @FasigTiptonCo Saratoga select sale graduate
From the first crop of Summer Wind-bred & co-owned #Flightline: a record-smashing 2yo @OBSSales, $10.5 million to @ZedanRacing. Flightline has 124 foals in this initial crop & we can't wait to see how they will continue to impress us ๐๐
This is what $10.5 million looks like ๐ฐ
There's breaking records, and then there's what happened midway through Friday's final session at #OBSApril.
A wave of anticipation flowed across the OBS grounds as this colt from the first crop of @LanesEndFarms stallion FLIGHTLINE out of Lucrezia, Hip 1056, made his way into the back walking ring. Consigned by Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds, the colt worked in a sales co-fastest time of :9 3/5 during last week's under-tack preview. Since then, he'd been the talk of Ocala.
Once the Flightline colt stepped into the sale ring, a bidding frenzy ensued that would eventually demolish the @OBSSales record at its conclusion, with Hip 1056 going the way of @ZedanRacing for $10,500,000.
Now the second-highest-priced 2-year-old ever sold in North America, the colt originally sold as a weanling at the 2024 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale for $575,000. He was purchased by Classic Equine.
The previous OBS April record was $2.45 million paid in 2017 for Conquistador (Tiznow) while the overall OBS record was the $3 million paid for Brant (Gun Runner) in 2025.
