The first Derby of the year goes to Trilogy Stables and Laurie Plesa’s 2012 OBS March graduate Itsmyluckyday,  who took command of the $100, 000 Gulfstream Park Derby at the top of the stretch and cruised to a 6-3/4 length victory over fellow OBS graduate Sr. Quisqueyano (January ’11). It’s the third stakes win for the 3-year-old colt by Lawyer Ron, sold by Eisaman Equine, Agent, for $110,000. The win gives him an 8-4-1-1 record and earnings of $185,600. watch his under tack video

 

 

Hronis Racing LLC’s Sky High Gal took the lead in the stretch of Santa Anita’s $82,000 Blue Norther Stakes on New Year’s Day, then held off a late charge by fellow OBS graduate Scarlet Strike (March ’12) to win her first stakes race by a nose. That’s three straight wins for the 3-year-old filly by Leroidesanimaux (BGZ), sold for $30,000 by Kenny Lejeune, Agent, at the 2012 OBS June Sale. She’s now 4-3-1-0 and has earned $120,083.  watch her under tack video
