“Storms have been coming through the area overnight and are expected to continue throughout the day, with Marion County under a tornado watch until 2:00 p.m.” said OBS general manager Tom Ventura. “Our Safetrack can handle the rain, but the decision to cancel was made for the safety and welfare of the horses and people involved.”

Hip No.’s 1 – 348 (selling Monday, April 20) will now breeze on Wednesday. Hip No.’s 348 – 696 (selling Tuesday, April 21) will work on Thursday, April 16; Hip No.’s 697 – 1044 (selling Wednesday, April 22) will work Friday, April 17; Hip No.’s 1045 – 1389 (selling Thursday, April 22) will breeze Saturday, April 18.

The Spring Sale is scheduled to run from Monday, April 20 through Thursday, April 23. All sessions begin at 10:30 a.m.

“While our Safetrack surface can handle heavy rain, high winds and lightning are a threat to horses, riders and spectators,” said OBS general manager Tom Ventura. “If the storm system comes through our area as forecast with favorable conditions expected for the rest of the week, it would make sense to wait a day in the interest of safety and fairness to all.”

Originally set for the previous Tuesday, the OBS February Sale was moved to allow consignors an additional week of preparation. In addition, OBS also announced a change in Under Tack Show policy, with a single Under Tack Show now scheduled for both the February and March Selected 2-Year-Old Sales.

The February Sale Under Tack Show is now set for Friday, February 13th at 9:00 a.m. and Under Tack Shows for the two-day March Sale are slated for Thursday and Friday, March 12th and 13th, with each session beginning at 8:00 a.m.

In a related development, the 2009 Darley OBS Championship Stakes has been moved to Monday, February 16th, with entries now being taken on Monday, February 9th.
