Texas 2-Year-Old Sale Set for Apr. 5

The Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale will be held Apr. 5 next year at Lone Star Park, while the auction's breeze show will be held Apr. 3.

“We've already had a lot of interest in our 2023 sale season,” Texas Thoroughbred Association Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “Our 2-year-old sale has certainly gotten stronger in terms of quality in the past few years and those horses have been performing well at tracks around the midwest and south.”

Free Drop Maddy (Free Drop Billy), who topped this year's sale after a final bid of $200,000, broke her maiden in the $150,000 Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity and, most recently, captured the Donovan L. Ferguson Memorial S. at the Fair Grounds for Mansfield Racing and Bret Calhoun.

“Our graduates are proof of the quality our consignors have offered each year,” Bridewell said. “We're excited to get to work on putting together another solid edition in April.”

The entry deadline for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale is Jan. 16 and consignment forms are now available at www.ttasales.com.

Too Much Bling Filly Tops Texas Sale

A filly by Too Much Bling (hip 19) topped the Texas Summer Yearling Sale Monday at Lone Star Park when selling for $100,000 to Mansfield Racing. Consigned by Highlander Training Center, the gray filly is out of Soft Music (Action This Day) and is a full-sister to 2016 Champion Texas-bred 2-Year-Old Filly Bling on the Music.

“We're obviously thrilled that a Texas-bred by one of our state's most influential stallions led the sale,” TTA Director Foster Bridewell said. “She was a beautiful filly and the full-sister went through this same sales ring before going on to become a Texas champion. We're thankful to breeder Danele Durham and Highlander Training Center for allowing us the opportunity to offer her here.”

A total of 161 horses sold during the one-session auction for a gross of $3.41 million. The average was $21,186, up from the 2021 figure of $18,246 and the median of $14,500 was up from last year's figure of $10,000.

“We can't thank our breeders, owners, consignors, and buyers enough for such a great sale,” Bridewell said. “The record results are an indication of the strength of the industry in this region right now and a testament to the hard work a lot of people put in to prepare these yearlings for this year.”
