132 Juveniles Catalogued for Texas Sale

A total of 132 juveniles have been catalogued for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale to be held Apr. 6 at Lone Star Park. The auction's under-tack show will be held Apr. 4.

“We tried to put together a diverse catalog with something for just about everyone,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “Our consignors really had a lot to offer, in terms of stallion strength and pedigree, and we are grateful they saw fit to sell with us. We're excited about the book we've put together and think our buyers will be too.”

Among sires with 2-year-olds in the catalogue are Arrogate, Connect, Constitution, Distorted Humor, Ghostzapper, Hard Spun, Kantharos, Malibu Moon, Runhappy, and Sky Mesa, as well as first-year stallions Accelerate, Always Dreaming, Army Mule, Cloud Computing, Good Samaritan, McCracken, Mendelssohn, Mo Town, and Tapwrit. Offspring from some of Texas's leading stallions, including Bradester, Competitive Edge, Eagle, and Too Much Bling, are also expected to go through the auction ring.

“The catalogue is strong, family wise,” Bridewell added. “We have horses that are out of stakes winners, by stakes winners, by proven and new stallions, half-siblings to stakes winners or stakes-placed horses, and half to Texas champions. We couldn't ask for a better group and can't thank our consignors enough for bringing them to Texas.”

The interactive catalog is available now at www.ttasales.com. Supplements to the catalogue are expected.

Jan. 17 Deadline For 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale

The deadline to enter 2-year-olds into the 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale is just seven days away.

Consignment contracts are due into the Texas Thoroughbred Association office on Jan. 17, 2022.

The 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale follows the very successful 2021 Texas Summer Yearling Sale that saw sizable increases in gross sales, average price, and median price, with 176 yearlings sold for more than $3,200,000.

“We're thrilled with the success of our yearling sale during the summer,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “We think the 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale will be as strong, if not stronger. We expect a diverse catalog with Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky breds offered to buyers from across the country.”

As previously announced, the sale will be held April 6 at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie. The breeze show is scheduled two days earlier on April 4.

Texas 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale Set For April 6, 2022

The Texas Thoroughbred Association and Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie have announced that the 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale will be held on Wednesday, April 6, at the Dallas-area racetrack. The breeze show will be held Monday, April 4.

The 2022 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale comes on the heels of the strong 2021 Texas Summer Yearling Sale. That sale saw an increase in the number of horses cataloged and sold, as well as a positive jump in the average and median sale prices.

“Based on what we saw with the Texas Summer Yearling Sale, I think there's a lot of anticipation for the upcoming Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale in April,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “I think we're uniquely positioned in the 2-year-old sales landscape to provide a quality sale for our owners, trainers, and breeders and still attract out of region buyers and sellers.”

The sale will be held about three weeks before Lone Star Park kicks off its 2022 Thoroughbred meet with 48 days of racing starting on April 28. As usual, the Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity, for TTA Sales graduates and Accredited Texas-breds made eligible through consignor or buyer berths, will be held on closing weekend at Lone Star with two divisions, each at $150,000 guaranteed.

Graduates of the Texas Yearling or 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale will also be eligible for the new Texas Thoroughbred Association Derby and Oaks for 3-year-olds. Both will be held at Sam Houston Race Park in 2023.

“The expanded stakes program for Texas Thoroughbred Association sales graduates certainly gives buyers something extra to think about when they're bidding on horses,” Bridewell said. “Our graduates have had success in the Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity, and that's carried over in other stakes races around the country, including the first, second, and third place finishers in this year's Clever Trevor Stakes at Remington Park.”

“Also, thanks to the passage of HB 2460 in 2019, the Texas horse industry benefits from the infusion of $25 million per year, increasing purses and Accredited Texas-bred incentive awards,” Bridewell added. “It really does pay to breed, sell and race in Texas.”

The entry deadline for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale is Jan. 17, 2022.
