SAINT

It was 1964 and Ontario’s horse racing community was on its way to being globally recognized. The shiny, new Woodbine racetrack built by E.P. Taylor was a few years old, and Taylor’s great little Canadian-bred Northern Dancer was on the cusp of greatness.

That same year, Taylor hired a young Toronto lawyer named Jack H. Kenney to join the Ontario Jockey Club. During the next 40 years, Kenney played a major part in keeping Woodbine on the international stage.

A member of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame and one of the sport’s most influential leaders, Kenney died suddenly on March 14 at St. Mike’s Hospital in Toronto after a short illness.

He was 79.

The OBS March Sale of Two Year Olds in Training begins on Tuesday, March 17^th. Hip No.’s 1 – 304 will sell on Tuesday and Hip No.’s 305 – 610 will be offered on Wednesday, March 18^th. Both sessions will begin at 11:00 a.m. As always the sale will be streamed live via the OBS website at obssales.com and the Blood-Horse and DRF websites.

At the Under Tack Show, Hip No. 509, Bernie’s Prize, a son of Noonmark consigned by Eddie Woods, Agent, turned  in the sale’s fastest quarter mile breeze, clocked in :20 2/5 at Friday’s session. The bay colt is out of Truss, by Friends Lake, a half sister to graded stakes winner Khancord Kid.

Two horses shared honors for the Under Tack’s Show’s fastest eighth, each working the distance in :9 3/5. At Wednesday’s session, it was Hip No. 155, a chestnut filly by Scat Daddy consigned by McKathan Bros, Agent, out of stakes winner Global Finance, by End Sweep. She’s a half sister to stakes winner Prenuptial. On Thursday, it was Hip No. 508, a bay colt by Discreet Cat consigned by Top Line Sales LLC, Agent. He’s out of stakes winner Truly Blushed, by Yes It’s True, and is a half brother to stakes placed Truly Marie.

Last year’s March Sale has already produced 15 stakes winners, led by the exploits of the $1.6-million co-sale topper Carpe Diem, a five length winner of the the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) in his three year old debut last Saturday. He’s one of six March grads that accounted for eight grade one victories in 2014, including six of the 15 grade one races at the 2014 Saratoga meeting.
