A registered Florida-bred filly by Golden Pal sold to owner/breeder Ken Ramsey for $50,000 to top the 2026 OBSOnline April Second Chance sale, a digital auction held April 24-28 featuring horses who breezed during the Spring Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale and either scratched or failed to meet their reserve.

Consigned as Hip 777 by Top Line Sales, the filly is out of the Point of Entry mare Expect an Entry, a half-sister to stakes winner Becky’s Exchange and was bred in Florida by Helen and Joseph Barbazon.

Expect an Entry is out of the Valid Expectations mare Expect Becky, a half-sister to multiple stakes winner and OBS graduate Thatsusintheolbean and stakes winner Valid Belfast.

Hip 1088, a Florida-bred colt by Ocala Stud’s popular first crop sire Roadster was the second highest priced horse to sell when H Jack Henricks bid $46,000.

Consigned by Ocala Stud, the colt is out of the Montbrook mare Marion Theatre and is a half-brother to both multiple-stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Florida-bred R Adios Jersey, an OBS graduate, and the dam of graded stakes-winning Florida-bred R Disaster. R Disaster is entered to run Saturday on the Kentucky Derby undercard in the Grade 1 Derby City Distaff presented by Ford.

The colt is eligible for the new $1 million Florida Sire Racing Incentive Program which offers $25,000 to each 2-year-old winner of a maiden special weight, allowance, allowance optional claiming and stakes run at Gulfstream Park or Tampa Bay Downs in 2026. Paid directly by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association, the FSRI will be split $20,000 to the winning owner and $5,000 to the breeder.
