Featured on the back cover are a pair of OBS October stalwarts in multiple graded stakes winner and millionaire Mystic Lake and grade 1 winner Trikari.
Named the 2024 Florida-bred Horse of the Year, Mystic Lake has amassed more than $1.6 million in earnings under the care of trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. for Miller Racing, BAG Racing Stables, and Robert Zoellner. She was sold by Summerfield (Francis & Barbara Vanlangendonck) to Tom McCrocklin, agent for $3,500 at the 2022 October Yearling Sale and was later purchased for $130,000 out of the Tom McCrocklin consignment at the 2023 OBS March Sale.
Amerman Racing's Trikari earned his biggest career win when he took the 2024 edition of the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes (G1T). The Graham Motion trainee, who was consigned by Ordonez Thoroughbreds to the 2022 October Yearling Sale and purchased by Amerman Racing for $27,500, won three graded stakes with career earnings of more than $1.4 million.
