Louisiana-Bred Bind Filly Posts Fastest Time Of Texas 2-Year-Old Sale Under Tack Show

A Louisiana-bred filly by Bind worked an eighth-mile in :10 flat as the fastest time in Monday's under tack show for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale at Lone Star Park.

The breeze show was held under sunny skies with a steady headwind throughout the day. The sale is set for Wednesday at noon, Central.

Consigned by Pike Racing, agent, Hip 57 was the sixth horse to breeze in the under tack show. The Feb. 27 foal, named Wupkar, is out of the Songandaprayer mare Anne Margaret, who has produced four winners. Two of those winners are stakes-placed, including $346,012 earner Adrianne G.

A single horse worked a quarter-mile, with Hip 113, an Ohio-bred colt by Midshipman, clocking the distance in :24 4/5.

“We had a nice crowd on hand today with more people in attendance than I remember over the past several years,” said Tim Boyce, sales director. “We had some very strong works on the track, despite a pretty solid headwind.”

Videos of the under tack show will be posted later this evening at www.ttasales.com.

More Than 120 Consigned To Texas 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale

The catalog is now available for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale with more than 120 head consigned to the auction set for Wednesday, April 7, at Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie.

The under tack show will be held Monday, April 5, at Lone Star, which co-sponsors the sale with the Texas Thoroughbred Association.

“After being forced to cancel last year's 2-year-old due to COVID-19, we are very pleased to get back on track this year, especially with the excitement from the increased overnight purses in Texas and the strong stakes schedule coming up at Lone Star Park,” said Tim Boyce, sales director.

First-year sires Klimt, Practical Joke, Lord Nelson, Gormley and Midnight Storm lead a strong stallion list, along with Texas freshman stallions Texas Chrome and Eagle. National and international sire power should be enticing to all buyers with Bernardini, California Chrome, Honor Code, Kitten's Joy, Maclean's Music, Malibu Moon and Street Sense among those represented.

As usual, offspring of many of the Southwest's top sires are in the sale, including Bradester, Custom for Carlos, Den's Legacy, Half Ours, My Golden Song and Star Guitar.

The mailing of catalogs was delayed due to February's winter weather in Texas, but copies are expected to mail next week. The complete catalog is now online, and as the sale approaches photos will be posted along with videos following the under tack show. Online bidding will again be available, and interested bidders can register now.

Texas Summer Yearling Sale Set For August 30

The Texas Thoroughbred Association and Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie have announced that the Texas Summer Yearling Sale will be held Monday, Aug. 30, at the Dallas-area track. Entries are now being accepted with a deadline of June 21.

Despite the current pandemic, last year's Texas Summer Yearling Sale resulted in an increase in gross sale receipts of more than 166 percent with approximately twice the number of horses consigned compared to the previous year. Even with the larger catalog, last year's sale posted an increase in average and median as buyers reacted positively to rising purses and breeders awards in Texas thanks to new legislation.

“Last year's sale showed how strong the Southwest market is with Texas on the rise and Oklahoma and Louisiana continuing to have solid racing and breeding programs,” said Tim Boyce, sales director. “We fully expect that upward trend to continue with our upcoming 2-year-olds in training sale followed by this yearling sale.”

Last year the TTA introduced a consignor rebate program that rebates up to 50 percent of the consignment fee using funding from the passage of HB 2463, and that offer will again be in effect for this sale.

As previously announced, the TTA and Lone Star Park will hold the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale on April 7. The breeze show will be held April 5.
