Texas 2-Year-Old Sale To Feature 94 Hips

[Wandering Eyes]

The catalogue for the Texas 2-year-olds in Training Sale, to be held April 2 at Lone Star Park, features 94 horses with a breeze show scheduled for March 31 at the Dallas-Fort Worth area track.

Online bidding will be offered for the auction, which is operated by the Texas Thoroughbred Association, and supplements are still being accepted.

“Consignors have consistently been bringing quality horses to our sales, and that's been proven over and over on the racetrack,” said Sales Director Foster Bridewell. “We had 2-year-old sale graduate Frost Free win the Grade III Chick Lang Stakes on Preakness Day at Pimlico last year, and yearling sale grad Coal Battle is already a millionaire and on the road to the Kentucky Derby after winning the Grade II Rebel Stakes last weekend.”

Horses bred in Texas and Louisiana are strongly represented, along with those in Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma, among others.

Leading regional stallions with offspring in the sale include Aurelius Maximus, El Deal, Gormley and Star Guitar. Top Kentucky stallions represented include Frosted, Goldencents, Good Magic, Hard Spun, Into Mischief, Liam's Map, Maclean's Music, Omaha Beach and Union Rags.

The sale offers buyers a chance for a quick return on their investment with two divisions of the $150,000-added Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity July 5 at Lone Star Park. Sale graduates will also be eligible as 3-year-olds to compete in the $100,000-added Texas Thoroughbred Association Derby and Oaks at Sam Houston Race Park in 2026.
