Sunbury, OH — Illustrating his devotion to the state in which he was born, raised and resides, Kelly O’Donnell purchased the Yankee Cruiser-Sammy’s Jammys colt Cruzin Inmy Dreams as the most expensive purchase at the Ohio Selected Jug Sale on Saturday (Sept. 17).
The black strapping son of Yankee Cruiser’s first Ohio crop after standing six years in Pennsylvania and siring two world champions in Sweet Lou and Dancin Yankee, was brought back to O’Donnell’s barn after that individual signed the check for $40,000 as agent.
He is out of a mare that earned $104,849 in her career and he is a full brother to the filly Cruzin Inya Jammys, who captured the $80,000 Cinderella Stakes at Maywood Park at age three and an Ohio Breeders Championship contest as a freshman.
