TTA 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale Preview Sees Four Horses Clock :10 Flat Furlong Times
Four horses shared the fastest furlong time of :10 flat during Monday’s under-tack preview of the Texas Thoroughbred Association’s Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, scheduled for Wednesday at Lone Star Park.
A Louisiana-bred filly by Lone Sailor (hip 1) established the bullet mark as the first horse to work over the track Monday morning. Consigned by Pike Racing at Highlander, the filly is out of Isn’t She Gorgeous (Yes It’s True) and is a half-sister to stakes winners Yes Gorgeous (Mass Media) and Southern Beauty (Calibrachoa).
Pike Racing at Highlander presented another bullet worker in hip 32, a Kentucky-foaled daughter of More Than Ready. She represents the second foal out of Seayouathebreakers (Hard Spun), a daughter of graded-placed Calistoga (Speightstown).
Bryan Ford Training Center’s consignment produced the remaining two bullet workers: hip 12, a son of Goldencents out of Moka Latte (Uncle Mo), and hip 15, a colt by Omaha Beach out of multiple stakes-placed Natalie’s Mischief (Into Mischief).
“Our consignors brought a strong group of 2-year-olds to the sale and I think that was proven on the track today,” said TTA sales director Foster Bridewell. “The buyers that I’ve talked to have been impressed by what they’ve seen, both on the track and in the barns, so we are looking forward to a good auction on Wednesday.”
A catalogue of 100 head will go through the newly renamed Mary Ruyle Thoroughbred Sales Pavilion Wednesday starting at 10 a.m. CT. The pavilion at Lone Star Park honors the recently retired executive director of the Texas Thoroughbred Association who played a instrumental role in launching the TTA Sales division a decade ago.
