Spring Venture rallied in the stretch to take the $100,000 OBS Championship S. for 3-year-old fillies as the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company hosted its annual Day of Champions race card on March 11.

In the 1 1/16-mile test, Spring Venture tracked the early pace in second before taking command going to the far turn. After clearing off by a length and a half, she was challenged through the lane and actually was headed by both Spring in the Air and Toasting. Not to be denied, Spring Venture surged in the final yards to out-duel Spring in the Air by three-quarters of a length.

The winner, supplemented to the race, completed the distance in 1:44.80 on a fast track. Sold by Eisaman Equine, Agent, at the 2012 OBS June Sale for $320,000, the filly brought the second-highest bid of the sale. Spring Venture is now 4-0-0 in six starts and has earned $376,821.
