Collected Colt Commands $320,000 At Florida 2YO Auction

/in , , /by

Ocala, Florida—A speedy colt by leading California sire Collected sold for $320,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s 2026 Spring 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale on April 15, attaining lofty status as the Rancho San Miguel stallion’s second-highest-priced juvenile racing prospect to date, and his fourth most expensive offspring to sell at commercial auction.

The six-figure pricetag tallied at twice the sale’s average through its first two days, and more than four times the median.

The athletic colt turned heads with his efficient pre-sale work of one furlong in :9 4/5 on April 8, and was purchased by Leland Ackerley Racing.

Bred in Kentucky by Erv Woolsey and Ralph Kinder, he was consigned to the Florida sale by Longoria Training & Sales, which had acquired him for $60,000 at the 2025 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. His dam is the winning Flatter mare You Flatter Me, whose four foals of racing age are all winners.

Collected, a 13-year-old son of City Zip and winner of the 2017 Pacific Classic Stakes (G1), is standing this season for $7,500.

$150,000 Colt Leads The Way For Rancho San Miguel Consignment At 2025 Fasig-Tipton California Yearling Sale

/in , , /by

Pomona, California—A Smiling Tiger colt from the immediate family of 2025 Grade 1-winning juvenile Ted Noffey commanded a final bid of $150,000 to top the Rancho San Miguel consignment at the 2025 Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale on September 23.

Signing the ticket for the strapping youngster — who ranked as the fifth-highest-priced horse of the single session — were longtime California-based owners Samantha Siegel and Phil Lebherz.

The colt was bred in California by the mother-daughter team of Jenny Webber and Rachel Jochimsen.

He is out of the multiple winner Valeria, a 100% producer by Elusive Quality whose four winning offspring include the multiple graded stakes-placed stakes winner Streak of Luck, dam of undefeated Ted Noffey. The Into Mischief colt gained national attention two months ago with his 8 1/2-length domination of Saratoga’s $300,000 Hopeful Stakes (G1) for 2-year-olds, a likely steppingstone to the upcoming Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) at Del Mar.

Rancho San Miguel ranked fourth by gross among the sale’s 13 consignors, with 17 yearlings sold for a cumulative $333,500.

Quality Permeates Rancho San Miguel’s 32-Strong Consignment To Southern California Yearling Sale On September 23

/in , , /by

Pomona, California—A quality draft of 32 racing prospects will be offered under the Rancho San Miguel banner during the 2025 Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale in Pomona on Tuesday, September 23, including one youngster with a recent and immediate Grade 1 family update. The auction’s single session starts at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.

All Rancho San Miguel entrants will be available for on-site inspection in Barn 7 at the Fairplex sales complex starting on Saturday morning, September 20.

The vast majority of yearlings in this consignment — 30 horses — are California-breds who are eligible to compete in the state’s restricted racing program. The remaining two yearlings were bred in Kentucky and Washington, respectively.

Hip #139 — a Smiling Tiger half-brother to the multiple graded stakes-placed stakes winner Streak of Luck — received a major catalog boost two weeks ago when his sibling’s undefeated 2-year-old colt Ted Noffey won Saratoga’s $300,000 Hopeful Stakes (G1) by 8 1/2 lengths to stamp himself as one of the early favorites for the 2025 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) at Del Mar.

Also among Rancho San Miguel’s assembly are yearlings by the prominent California farm’s resident stallions Danzing Candy, Editorial, Mo Forza and Sir Prancealot (Ire), as well as the state’s leading sire of 2025, Grazen. In addition, the group includes several representatives from the first California-sired foal crop of Grade 1 winner Jack Milton and the last crop of the late leading California sire Mr. Big.

Youngsters by notable out-of-state stallions Army Mule and Yoshida (Jpn) are also available in the collection.

“We are proud to offer a strong group of yearlings for California buyers this year,” said Rancho San Miguel Owner Tom Clark. “In addition to pedigree power, our consignment features superior physicals across the board. We invite owners and trainers of all price points to come pull them out for early inspection, and find their future winners in our diverse consignment.”

Purchased by Tari Brocklebank as agent for Racing Partnership, the six-figure yearling ranked as the third-highest-selling colt of the one-day auction in Pomona, and among the top eight hips overall.
