The OBS March Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training is underway in Ocala, Florida, marking the first major juvenile auction of the year. Following last week’s under tack show, where young horses breeze for prospective buyers, the sale annually attracts leading trainers, bloodstock agents, and owners looking for early prospects for the racetrack. On the opening day of the OBS sale, McMahon & Hill Bloodstock secured two fillies by Midshipman and Cyberknife to begin their 2026 2-year-old purchases. The team first went to $50,000 to purchase Hip 111, a Kentucky-bred filly by Midshipman  from the consignment of J V C Training and Sales. The filly breezed a sharp :10.1 during the under tack show and impressed the team with her strength and overall physical. The purchase marks the first independent purchase for longtime partner and friend Mark Sullivan, who has been involved with the team for many years. Later in the session, McMahon & Hill purchased Hip 225 for $100,000 on behalf of Kinnze Thoroughbreds a New York-bred filly by Cyberknife from the consignment of Niall Brennan Stables. She is from the first crop of Cyberknife, whose juveniles have generated considerable interest at the sale. Kinnze Thoroughbreds primarily races on the New York circuit, and we hope to see this filly in Saratoga this summer! The OBS March Sale continues throughout the week in Ocala, with McMahon & Hill remaining active to purchase for private clients and Bourbon Lane Stable.

Established in 2010, Bourbon Lane Stable is a multiple graded stakes-winning operation built on disciplined horse selection, experienced race management, and long-term partnerships. Below is a current overview of the Bourbon Lane roster across New Zealand, United States yearling and two-year-old partnerships, and co-ownership ventures. For clarity, the year listed under each division reflects the year the partnership group was formed, not the foaling year of the individual horse.

Coliganese Photo McMahon & Hill Bloodstock purchase Bold Journey  added to his impressive resume with a determined victory in the Grade 3 Tom Fool Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack, showcasing the grit and turn of foot that have defined his career. The 7-year-old son of Hard Spun unleashed a huge burst of acceleration in the stretch, closing relentlessly and getting up in the final strides to win by a nose in a dramatic finish. Congratulations to Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott and the ownership group of Pantofel Stable, Watchel Stable, and Gary Barber on another outstanding performance. Bold Journey was purchased by McMahon & Hill Bloodstock on behalf of Seidman Stables at the 2021 OBS April Sale for $80,000 from the respected consignors McKathan Brothers. Now a multiple graded stakes winner, Bold Journey has finished in the top three in 22 of 34 lifetime starts and has earnings just shy of $1 million. We’re heading to OBS March next week and looking to do it again. Contact us to find your own Bold Journey!

The spring 2-year-old sales mark one of the most important stretches on the Thoroughbred calendar. Over the next several months, McMahon & Hill Bloodstock will be on the grounds at the OBS March Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale, OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training, and the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale. We are shopping for the Bourbon Lane US 2-Year-Old Partnership and for private clients who are looking to add quality racehorses to their stables. What Makes the 2-Year-Old Sales Different Unlike yearling purchases, these horses have already begun training. They have breezed under tack. They have shown how they move, how they handle pressure, and how they carry their speed. We evaluate: Balance and structural correctness Stride efficiency and mechanics Physical maturity with room to develop Mental composure and professionalism From there, we move into detailed veterinary due diligence. Radiographs, scopes, and consultations with trusted veterinarians are essential parts of the decision-making process. We are not chasing headlines or one-time performances. We are buying racehorses built to stand training and compete. OBS March: Early Opportunity The OBS March Sale traditionally offers a more select group of horses and can be a strong source of early runners. This sale often appeals to buyers looking for horses capable of getting to the races during their 2-year-old season. With smaller numbers, it allows us to focus closely on individuals who meet our physical and veterinary standards. OBS April: Depth and Discipline The OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training is one of the largest 2-year-old sales in the world. The volume creates opportunity, but it also demands discipline. We will spend days reviewing breezes, watching horses multiple times, studying pedigrees, and narrowing down a manageable shortlist before vetting. Fasig-Tipton Midlantic: Proven Source of Talent The Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale in Timonium has consistently produced high-level racehorses. This sale offers another chance to secure athletic, sound individuals who fit the goals of both our partnership model and private racing stables. Each marketplace behaves a little differently. Understanding those nuances allows us to position our clients effectively. Building the Bourbon Lane US 2-Year-Old Partnership For the Bourbon Lane US Partnership, our objective remains consistent: Acquire competitive prospects Balance early opportunity with long-term potential Maintain transparency and access for partners We are buying with a plan in place from day one, including trainer alignment, portfolio strategy, and realistic timelines. Serving Private Clients In addition to partnership purchases, we are actively sourcing horses tailored to individual client goals. Some are looking for: 2-year-olds who can get to the races this season Horses with long-term development upside Athletes suited for specific racing programs Individuals that fit a particular trainer or campaign plan There is no one-size-fits-all approach. The right horse is the one that aligns with the owner’s vision and timeline. Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing updates from the sales grounds, shortlists in progress, and acquisitions for both Bourbon Lane and our private clients. If you are interested in participating in the Bourbon Lane US 2-Year-Old Partnership or discussing a private acquisition strategy, we welcome the conversation.

Benoit Photo EL POTENTE once again proved his class on the turf, delivering a dominant performance in the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes at Santa Anita Park , powering home by 3 ¾ lengths in impressive fashion. Purchased by McMahon & Hill Bloodstock for $35,000 at the 2021 OBS 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale on behalf of My Way Racing and trainer Dan Blacker. The 7-year-old son of Temple City has grown into a model of consistency and durability, becoming a multiple graded stakes winner while hitting the board in 12 of 17 career starts and earning more than $344,000. After enjoying success in last year’s edition of the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes, El Potente returned this season looking to defend his title. He made his comeback in November with a strong third-place finish in the Grade 2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar, followed by a solid fourth in the Grade 2 Joe Hernandez Stakes at Santa Anita last time out. El Potente’s continued success is a testament to the patience, horsemanship, and planning behind the scenes. Trained by longtime McMahon & Hill partner Dan Blacker , the gelding has been carefully managed throughout his career, allowing him to thrive year after year at the highest level. We congratulate the entire team on another outstanding achievement and look forward to what lies ahead for this remarkable horse!

As the winter sales season comes to a close, McMahon & Hill Bloodstock will be on the grounds this weekend ahead of the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale, taking place Monday, February 9, in Lexington, Kentucky. This sale marks the final live breeding stock auction of the season and consistently provides an important opportunity for breeders, owners, and investors to position themselves for the year ahead. A Sale That Rewards Smart Buying Over the years, this February marketplace has proven that success is not defined solely by headline prices. Instead, it rewards buyers who understand pedigree, physicals, and commercial appeal and who know how to match the right horse to the right program. McMahon & Hill Bloodstock has consistently leveraged this environment to secure high-upside prospects for our clients, many of whom have gone on to achieve significant success both on the racetrack and in the sales ring. Past Success Stories Fordyce – Purchased for $85,000 Fordyce went on to produce Grade 2 winner and Grade 1-placed Victory USA. Later resold by our client Lee Ackerly for $875,000. More Oats Please – Purchased for $30,000 Purchased as a broodmare for Rivermist Farm, More Oats Please proved to be an exceptional value buy. She produced Grade 1 winner Peace and War and 2025 Grade 1-placed Hot Mash. Merryland Monroe – Purchased for $75,000 Merryland Monroe developed into the dam of multiple graded stakes winner Merry Meadow. After earning $852,000 on the racetrack for her owner-breeder William Parsons Jr. and David S. Howe, Merry Meadow later sold for $480,000, further validating the quality behind this family.

Tale of the Gypsy (NZ)  continued her upward trajectory on Friday, January 30, with a strong win at Te Rapa Racecourse . The 3YO chestnut filly lined up in Race 4, a Rating 65 Benchmark over 1200 meters on the turf, and showed her quality when it mattered most. Racing under New Zealand skies while it was still Thursday evening in the U.S., she rewarded the confidence we’ve had in her from the very beginning. By Written By (AUS) , Tale of the Gypsy continues to progress the right way, and this victory puts her firmly on track for a stakes assignment next. Performances like this are exactly why we believe in patience, thoughtful placement, and expert horsemanship. It made the win even more meaningful to have Mike and Jamie in New Zealand celebrating alongside our partners! These are the moments that define the Bourbon Lane experience. A sincere thank you to our partners and to the entire Stephen Marsh team for their dedication and excellent care of this filly. We’re excited for what’s ahead.

McMahon & Hill Bloodstock made two targeted purchases at this week’s Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale, acquiring mares selected specifically to be bred to Showcase  and offered as a packaged opportunity that includes a share in the stallion. This package is designed to provide access to the New York breeding program at an approachable entry point, combining quality broodmares with a promising young stallion who brings both pedigree and racetrack credentials. Showcase Joins McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds Showcase will stand at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds for the 2026 breeding season at a fee of $5,000 live foal. A Grade 2 winning son of Uncle Mo, Showcase showed elite ability in limited starts and left a lasting impression on his connections. He earned TDN Rising Star honors after winning on debut in New York and followed up with a victory in the Grade 2 Saratoga Special. Todd Pletcher praised Showcase as his best two-year-old that season, citing his explosive speed, natural talent, and the impact he could have on the New York breeding program. The Mares Magic Mags  was purchased for $5,500. She is by elite broodmare sire Bernardini and out of black type winner Honolulu. She is currently in foal to Stage Raider on a March 26 cover. Stage Raider is a half brother to Triple Crown winner and leading third crop sire Justify and is by Pioneer of the Nile. He broke his maiden at Keeneland in dominant fashion, winning by more than ten lengths, then went on to capture a black type stake at Ellis Park and finish second in the Grade 2 Ack Ack Stakes at Churchill Downs. Win the Kitty  was purchased for $8,500. She is by Honor Code out of an Elusive Quality mare. Though unraced, she comes from a productive family of winners. She is in foal to Mo Town on a March 1 cover. Mo Town is a Grade 1 winning son of Uncle Mo and the sire of 19 stakes winners, including six graded stakes winners. His son Brotha Keny recently made history at the Inglis Digital USA Sale, selling for $550,000, the highest price ever achieved at that venue. Ownership Opportunities McMahon & Hill is offering limited 10% and 20% co ownership opportunities in this Showcase breeding package. This structure provides partners with exposure to both broodmare and stallion upside while participating in the incentives and opportunities available through the New York breeding program. Interested in joining? Please contact mary@mcmahonandhill.com  for additional information. Mike and Jamie are currently traveling to New Zealand to source yearlings for our 2026 Bourbon Lane Partnerships and may have delayed response times.

The Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale  is a foundational sale on the Thoroughbred calendar. It is where breeding programs are built, broodmare bands are strengthened, and young horses are secured with an eye toward the future. The sale rewards discipline, patience, and a clear plan.

The 2026 racing season has started in the best possible way for Bourbon Lane Stable New Zealand , with our runners delivering three wins from three starts  to kick off the year. From elite Group Stakes success to dominant performances on the day, it has been an exciting stretch for our stable and partners. Queen Zou Delivers a Group 2 Statement The year began with a major highlight as Queen Zou  captured the Group 2 Rich Hill Mile  on New Year’s Day. Producing a powerful finish over 1600 meters, Queen Zou stamped herself as one of the top performers early in the New Zealand season. Her Group 2 victory set the tone for what was to come and marked a significant achievement for the Bourbon Lane NZ operation. Performances like this are what make racing at the highest level so rewarding for our team and partners. Super Photon Steps Forward at Tauranga Momentum continued at Tauranga when Super Photon  delivered a strong win in Race 2 over 1500 meters in an Open Handicap worth NZD $50,000. He showed maturity and improvement throughout the run, finishing with authority and confirming he is heading in the right direction. Credit goes to trainer Stephen Marsh  and his team for their thoughtful preparation and management. Super Photon continues to progress with every start and remains an exciting horse for the season ahead. Post Race with Stephen Marsh: Kiwi Skyhawk Makes It Three From Three Capping off a perfect start to 2026, Kiwi Skyhawk  captured Race 7 at Tauranga on January 8, winning decisively over 2100 meters. His victory also marked Bourbon Lane NZ’s second win on the card. Kiwi Skyhawk has been exceptionally good to our stable. The four year old is already a Group 3 winner and has now earned NZD $327,550 in prize money. He continues to deliver consistent, high level performances and remains a cornerstone of our New Zealand operation. Thank You to Our Team and Partners These results would not be possible without the outstanding work of Stephen Marsh and his entire team, whose dedication and horsemanship are evident every time our horses step onto the track. We are also incredibly grateful to our partners for their continued support and belief in the Bourbon Lane program. 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership Is Open With the season off to such a strong start, we are excited about what lies ahead.

We are excited to be heading back to New Zealand at the end of the month for the Karaka Sale , where we will be purchasing horses for the 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership . If you have been following along, you know our New Zealand runners have been flying. They have consistently competed at the highest level in Graded Stakes company, and already in the 2025–2026 season the partnership has produced two Graded Stakes winners . We kicked off the new year on a high note when Queen Zou delivered a strong victory in the Rich Hill Mile Stakes  on New Year’s Day. One of the most exciting aspects of the Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership is the action. With racing opportunities throughout the season, there is almost always something to cheer for. It also makes for a great reason to plan a trip to New Zealand and experience the racing there firsthand, from the tracks to the sales to the overall atmosphere that makes the sport so special. Our success buying out of Karaka continues to build. Most recently, three-year-old colt Magic Carpet, a Karaka graduate, broke his maiden in the Hawke’s Bay Guineas  back in September, further validating the program and our approach. All of our New Zealand horses are trained by top conditioner Stephen Marsh . Partners receive weekly updates and are part of a passionate, engaged ownership group that enjoys the process just as much as the results. The 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership offers an affordable and exciting entry point into international racing ownership, with partnership interests available for a minimum investment of $5,000 . We would love to have you involved as we head back to Karaka and build the next group of runners for another exciting season in New Zealand. Interested in learning more? Contact us today!
