Tapwrit Filly Fires Bullet in Texas

A filly by Tapwrit turned in the fastest furlong breeze of :9 4/5 during the under-tack show for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale at Lone Star Park Monday. Cataloged as hip 167, the filly is consigned by Pike Racing, agent, and was bred by H. Allen Poindexter. She is out of the winning Sky O'Blue (Henny Hughes) and is a half-sister to two winners from as many to race.

“It's not every year in Texas we get a :9 4/5 breeze and she did it the right way,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “We had seven get the 1/8th of a mile in :10 1/5, which is also very impressive over the dirt here in Texas. We're grateful to our consignors and the owners of these athletes for bringing them to Texas to sell and we're looking forward to Wednesday's sale.”

Record-Sized Catalogue Available for Texas 2YO Sale

A catalogue featuring 186 horses has been released for the 2023 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, the highest number cataloged for a 2-year-old sale in Texas Thoroughbred Association (TTA) sales history. The sale will be held Apr. 5 at Lone Star Park with a breeze show scheduled for Apr. 3.

The now-sophomore has since won four black-type events, including the Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity at Lone Star and the Louisiana Champions Day Lassie S. at Fair Grounds.

“This is an impressive catalog for our 2023 2-year-old sale,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “It's deep, it's full of pedigree and stallion power, and we're proud to offer the depth and quality come April that hasn't been seen around here in a decade.”

Bridewell continued: “The commitment of our consignors, breeders, and owners to bring such quality athletes and pedigrees to our sale is unmatched.”
