There's a Devil's Bag filly in the upcoming sale in Ocala. Her page is below:

I'm probably going to head up to Ocala to check them out under tack on Sunday.

Ocala Jun 2YO in training sale? 99% she can't run.

I'll never forget the buzz about the 'Bag, and reading Steve Crist's articles chronicling his journey towards the Derby.

Yeah, maybe not. I think Buzzard's Bay was a June OBS grad, though if I recall. So you never know... Haven't seen them yet, but it'll give me something to do this weekend anyway.

Surely, sounds like a cool trip. I've never been to Ocala for a 2YO sale...

I go all of the time... wish I had the $$ to get one. LOL

It's cool to see some of the nicer ones go through the ring. Over the past couple of years I've seen quite a few future stakes winners and it's cool to have seen them as yearlings and two year olds.

There’s a gray Silver Charm colt in there that I want to see (hip #123)… his dam is a half sister to The Tin Man’s dam AND she was tested for a large heart and was one of ten mares measured in last 20 years by Dr. Fregin to have a heart that large.

I loved Silver Charm, so if this one looks anything like his Pops, it'll be the worth the hour drive.

I loved Silver Charm as well, I'm planning on going to the Hall of Fame induction this year for him.

What a battler he was. One of my recent favorites, too.
I'm a sucker for horses with mediocre pedigrees who run their eyeballs out!

Isn't it ironic that the horse I have as my avatar right now was the one that broke all our hearts in the Belmont.
