Topped by a $850,000 Twirling Candy colt and $550,000 Curlin colt, Eisaman Equine sold a total of seven horses for $2,395,000 during the first day of the March 15-16 OBS March Sale of Selected Sale of 2-year-olds in Training.

The Twirling Candy colt, hip No. 222, sold to the high-powered partnership of Al Shaqab Racing, WinStar Farm, and China Horse Club. The bay juvenile’s sale price was the second-highest for the session. The bay Kentucky bred is out of Sage Mist and is a half-brother to stakes winner Highway Boss. Sage Mist is a half-sister to graded stakes performers Ketchikan and Un Fino Vino.

"Al Shaqab will be the main partner," racing manager Brad Weisbord said. "He was the best horse for our team today. He is the one we wanted to walk away with.”

The Curlin colt, who flew threw his breeze in :09 4/5 seconds at the Under Tack Show, was consigned as hip No. 293 and sold to trainer Mark Casse. The colt’s dam Stars Indy Skies is a half-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Advancing Star. 

The sale concludes tomorrow, with Eisaman’s consignment scheduled to have three horses go through the ring, including an Exchange Rate colt, hip No. 557, that breezed a rapid 10 seconds flat during the Under Tack Show.
