Dream filly tops Maryland-bred 2-year-olds at $300,000 at Ocala June sale

The Malibu Moon filly Dream did well for breeders Dark Hollow Farm, Dorsey Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Davidov and Mr. and Mrs. David Schwaber. After their homebred won her debut at 2 and was three-times stakes-placed at 3 in six starts, once in graded company, she retired to the Dark Hollow broodmare band. Of her four foals to sell at auction, three have brought six figures, including her gray filly by The Factor, who topped all Maryland-bred offerings at the 2020 OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training in June.

Willis Horton Racing LLC went $300,000 for Dream’s daughter, who breezed an eighth in :10.20 at the under tack show. Willis Horton has had prior success with a Dark Hollow Farm prospect, having purchased future graded stakes winner Partner’s Hero from the Haydens at Saratoga as a yearling in 1995.

Dream’s current 2-year-old was sold by her breeders for $100,000 as a yearling last September at Keeneland. Dream’s first foal, a colt by Speightstown, brought $120,000 at the 2014 Keeneland September sale, and the partners hit a homerun when getting $410,000 the next year for her Ghostzapper colt. In 2017, a colt by More Than Ready sold for $80,000. The mare’s four yearlings sold for a combined $710,000 at Keeneland. Her sales average (her offspring selling a total of five times) is $202,000.
