In this episode of Discover Ocala, we sit down with Tod Wojciechowski, Director of Sales at Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. (OBS), to explore the rich history and operations of this world-class thoroughbred auction house.
Founded by Marion County farm owners looking for a local venue to sell their thoroughbreds, OBS has grown into a multi-faceted hub of equine excellence. It currently operates:
- 🏇 The Auction House – Hosting five major sales per year, including the upcoming March Sale of Two-Year-Olds (Under Tack: March 5-8, Sale: March 11-13).
- 🌾 OBS Feed Mill – Producing fresh, high-quality equine feed for horses throughout the region.
- 🎰 Ocala Bets & Poker Room – An inter-track wagering facility and poker room located right along the race track at OBS.
Some of racing’s biggest stars have passed through OBS, including multiple Derby winners and Eclipse Award champions. With Marion County standing alongside Lexington, Kentucky as one of the premier centers for top horsemen, trainers, and breeders, OBS continues to shape the future of thoroughbred racing.
