Nearly 90 horses have been consigned to the Texas Summer Yearling and Mixed Sale, set for Monday, Aug. 26, at noon CT at the Texas Thoroughbred Sales Pavilion on the grounds of Lone Star Park near Dallas. The catalog is now online.
The sale is jointly sponsored by the Texas Thoroughbred Association and Lone Star Park.
With 72 horses cataloged, the yearling portion of the sale will feature offspring of leading Southwest sires Astrology , Custom for Carlos , Half Ours , Star Guitar ,and Too Much Bling along with the first crop of yearlings by grade 1 winner Bradester . Among the national stallions represented are Goldencents , Maclean's Music , and Overanalyze .
This will be the first sale since the passage of legislation in Texas that is expected to add as much as $25 million annually to purses, state-bred incentives, and other programs to benefit the horse industry in the state.
"The Southwest region is even stronger now that the Texas racing and breeding industry should be revitalized by recent legislation," said sales director Tim Boyce. "We have a strong group of Texas-breds in this sale for those looking to jump in on a program ready to trend up, and we also have solid representation from Oklahoma and Louisiana for those looking to participate in those programs."
The yearling session will be immediately followed by a mixed session consisting of 15 broodmares and horses of racing age.
