A trio of stakes winning 2021 graduates are pointing to the 2022 Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland.
The newest October Sale star is Augustin Stable’s Delight, who raced her way into the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) with a frontrunning five length victory in Friday’s Jessamine Stakes (G2) at Keeneland. The 2-year-old Florida-bred daughter of Mendelssohn, trained by Jonathan Thomas, is now 4-2-0-2 and has earned $211,905. The two-time OBS graduate was sold by Stuart Morris, Agent, at the 2021 October Selected Yearling Sale and then purchased for $400,000 out of the Paul Sharp consignment at the 2022 March Sale after turning in an Under Tack eighth in :10 1/5. watch her under tack video
