(Grand Prairie, Texas) The hammer dropped on the gray filly by Tapwrit at $300,000 Wednesday to lead the way at the 2023 Texas Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale.
Consigned by Pike Racing as Hip 167, the Tapwrit filly, who is out of the winning and producing Henny Hughes mare Sky O’Blue, walked into the sales ring with much anticipation. Randy Morse, as agent, signaled the winning bid, signing the ticket on the filly who breezed the 9.4 bullet for 1/8th of a mile at Lone Star Park on Monday.
“The Tapwrit filly certainly didn’t disappoint at any point this week,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “She breezed in 9.4, showed well at the barn, and presented herself beautifully in the ring. We’re lucky to have had her in our sale and thankful to all parties involved.”
A Bolt d’Oro colt brought $160,000 marking the second highest priced horse to leave the ring Wednesday and the highest priced colt. The Oklahoma bred son of Bolt d’Oro, out of a producing Street Sense mare, was consigned by Bryan Ford Training Stable. Larry Hirsch signed the ticket.

“We’re truly fortunate to have had such quality offerings in our 2023 sale,” Bridewell said. “It’s a testament to the hard work and time put in by our sellers and teams behind these athletes. And we’re grateful to our buyers locally, nationally, and internationally for supporting our sale.”

(Austin, TX) – The 2023 Texas Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale will be held on April 5, 2023 at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, TX. The breeze show is scheduled for Monday, April 3, 2023.
“We’ve already had a lot of interest in our 2023 sale season,” Texas Thoroughbred Association Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “Our two-year-old sale has certainly gotten stronger in terms of quality in the past few years and those horses have been performing well at tracks around the midwest and south.”
Last year’s $200,000 sales topper, Free Drop Maddy, broke her maiden in the $150,000 Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity at Lone Star Park, after a strong second on debut at Churchill Downs. She most recently won the Donovan L. Ferguson Memorial Stakes at the Fair Grounds Race Track for Mansfield Racing and Bret Calhoun. And 2022 graduate Tensas Candy won the $100,000 My Trusty Cat Stakes at Delta Downs for Terrell Jarrett Jr and Jorge Lara earlier this month; she was a $29,000 purchase from the Bryan Ford consignment.
“Our graduates are proof of the quality our consignors have offered each year,” Bridewell said. “We’re excited to get to work on putting together another solid edition in April.”
The breeze show is set for Monday, April 3rd, on the Lone Star Park dirt. The sale will be held Wednesday, April 5, 2023, inside the sales pavilion.

Louisiana-breds Shine at Texas 2YO Sale
Accredited Louisiana breds sold exceptionally well at the Texas Two-Year-Olds In Training Sale which was held Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie.
A Louisiana-bred filly from the first crop of Spendthrift Farm’s stallion Free Drop Billy consigned by Carl Deville as Hip 134 topped the sale at $200,000. The filly attracted attention after she breezed a quick 10.2 over the Lone Star Park dirt Monday afternoon. Out of the Half Ours mare Solo Buena, she’s a half-sister to stakes-placed Swot Analysis, who was second in the Louisiana Futurity at two. The filly previously sold as a yearling in the 2021 Breeders Sales Company of Louisiana Yearling Sale for $10,500.
A total of 30 accredited Louisiana breds sold for $1,137,500 with an average of $37,917, above the sale average of $34,667. The median price for Louisiana breds sold through the ring was $30,000 also above the sale median of $28,000.
Other Breeders Sales Company of Louisiana Yearling Sale graduates showed significant bumps over their yearling sale prices. Hip 133, a filly by Star Guitar out of the Hard Spun mare, Well Spun also consigned by Carl Deville, sold for $30,000 an increase of $21,500 over her yearling sale price of $8,500. And Hip 100, a colt by Guilt Trip out of the stakes winning Milwaukee Brew mare Hometown Gossip, sold for $24,000 out of the Benchmark Training Center Consignment, up $20,500 from his yearling sale price of $3,500.
Following the sale, Roger Heitzmann, Secretary/Treasurer of the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association said “Louisiana breds offer pinhookers a terrific return on their investment. With purses on the rise in Louisiana, I expect the demand for accredited Louisiana breds to rise as well.”
