Speedway Stables’ Cavalieri (Nyquist-Stiffed, by Stephen Got Even) headlined the list of stakes-winning Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company graduates this past week when she captured the $100,000, Gr. III La Canada Stakes by 1 ½ lengths at Santa Anita Park on Jan. 19 to remain unbeaten in three career starts.

    The 4-year-old dark bay filly trained by Bob Baffert was purchased by Speedway for $900,000 from the Wavertree Stables consignment at the 2023 OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training after she breezed in 20.2. 

    “Coming into the race, with the way she has been training, we knew we were going to have fun with her,” Baffert told the Santa Anita publicity department. “She is maturing, and she is a big, beautiful stout mare. If we can keep her healthy, we will have a lot of fun with her this year.”

    Another OBS graduate who notched a stakes win was Stir Crazy (Vancouver (AUS)-Mentally Unstable, by Good Reward), who rallied to a 5 3/4-length victory in the $100,000 Marie G. Krantz Memorial at Fair Grounds. Owned by Paradise Farms Corp. and David Staudacher, Stir Crazy was purchased by Angelico’s Racing for $35,000 from consignor Paul Sharp out of the 2020 OBS July Two-Year-Olds and Horses of Racing Age Sale after breezing in 10.2.

    Tom Kagele and Ernest Marchosky’s Kale’s Angel (Complexity-Love Affair, by Malibu Moon) survived a stewards’ inquiry to win the $150,000 Renaissance Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Kale’s Angel was purchased for $150,000 by Kagele Bros. & Peter Miller from the McKathan Bros. Sales consignment at the 2024 OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training after breezing in 9.4.
