Racehorse (Reserve: None)
ICh. Dr. Evil (G) x Skin Deep Beauty (S) - Twin Oaks (S)
Bred for both dirt and turf. Half sibling to both GCh. Silent Thunder and Ch. Tokugawa. I think she might still have potential, but I haven’t been able to draw it out of her.

Racehorse (Reserve: None)
Invasor (S) x Ch. Ain’t I Pretty (B) - Almost Home (S)

Yearling (Reserve: $5,000)
WCh. Usain Bolt (B) x ‘Bama Slamma - GCh. Dixie Time
Bred for turf. Dam was 1-1-2 of 15. This is her first foal, so uncertain how he will do on the track.

Star Occasion
https://www.finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=45788
Yearling (Reserve: $20,000)
NCh. Formal Occasion (S) x Elven Star (S) - Spectacular Bid (G)
Star Occasion is ¾ siblings with Ch. Skyrim and Sire/BM Sire to Ch. Second Wedding. Bred for dirt at the classic level. Dam has produced 60% winners, including two who are stakes placed. She was 3-2-1 of 22 as a racer, and all wins were at 5 years old, so there is a chance this one could be a late bloomer.
