A 2-year-old from the first crop by Corinthian brought $320,000 during the third session of the OBS Spring Sale, top price for any filly at the four-day Sale.

The bay filly is the second highest-priced seller of the year for the Gainesway stallion, who also posted excellent results at the recently concluded Keeneland April Sale of two-year-olds in training, with a pair of juveniles bringing $250,000 and $150,000, respectively, and a $380,000 seller at Barretts March.

At Ocala, trainer Mark Casse signed the ticket for hip No. 916, who is owned by her breeders John McLane and Irv Weimer. The Kentucky bred was consigned by Niall Brennan Stables, agent. Prior to the sale, the filly had worked a quarter mile in a quick :21 1/5 seconds. Watch the breeze here.

The unnamed filly is the first foal out of the Smoke Glacken mare Glacken's Mark, who was a two-time stakes winner and won four races as a 2-year-old.
