Pleasant Acres winners defy OBS buyers

The sharpies at the OBS sales may have missed the boat on a couple of Thursday’s Gulfstream winners, both by stallions from Pleasant Acres.

CAMIGOL – The 2-year-old colt by Neolithic was a $9,000 RNA as an OBS October yearling, and now he has a victory and a second to show for two starts. After the runner-up finish by a neck in his debut, he came back in a $53,000 maiden special and went wire-to-wire with Edwin Gonzalez, winning by 5 3/4 lengths in a sharp :52.17 for 4 1/2 furlongs, and paying $2.60. The colt bred by DeLuca and Sons Stable earned a check for $35,800 and has a two-race take of $46,200.

CARROLL’S HONOR – Breeder Don Ming brought the 3-year-old Curlin’s Honor filly home from the October OBS sale after the final bid of $27,000 failed to reach her reserve. She broke out of a four-race out-of-the-money slump and went wire-to-wire going six furlongs under apprentice Luis Fuenmayor. She put up fractions of :22.53 and :45.86 en route to a strong 7 1/2-length score, clocked in 1:11.07.

Carroll’s Honor paid $4.20 for her third victory in eight tries and the check of $14,550 for her patient owner/breeder raised her earnings to $51,520.
