My first ride on Odin was Jan. 8, 2022. It was a quick ride mainly designed to assess his brain to make sure this horse that I had recently bought was not inherently naughty and would be something that I could ride and train at this stage in my own journey back to the saddle. In the subsequent short rides that followed, it became clear that Odin was a solid citizen with a good brain but that my work was cut out for me as a rider.

“I think the quality horses the consignors sent to us for this sale really put on a show today,” TTA sales director Foster Bridewell said. “The last horse to breeze drops the bullet, we had six go :10 2/5, and 17 stopped the timer in :10 3/5; that's a testament to the horses and the training leading up. We owe a debt of gratitude to the folks that trust us to sell for them and we're thankful for the consignors who have brought these athletes to this sale.”
The breeze results and videos are available online at TTAsales.com. The 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale is Wednesday, April 6, beginning at noon CT.
