Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company may postpone the Under Tack Show for the 2009 Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training until Wednesday, April 15 at 8:00 a.m. if the expected stormy weather comes to the Ocala area on Tuesday. Conditions will be monitored overnight and a decision will be made by 7:00 a.m. Tuesday morning
“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.”
The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s 2009 February Selected Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 17th and the Adena Springs Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training has been added to the 2009 lineup and is scheduled for Monday, March 16th.
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.
