A filly by Tapwrit blazed the fastest eighth-mile April 3 at the 2023 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale breeze show.

Cataloged as Hip 167, the filly stopped the clock in :09 4/5 over an eighth-mile breeze at Lone Star Park. Consigned by Pike Racing as agent, the H. Allen Poindexter bred filly is out of the winning Henny Hughes mare, Sky O'Blue, and is a half sister to two winners from as many to race. 

Seven horses clocked :10 1/5 over the Lone Star dirt Monday, all equaling the second fastest of the day:

  • Hip 11, a filly by Dialed In  out of African Charm, consigned by Pike Racing, agent.
  • Hip 53, a colt by Bernardini out of the multiple stakes-winning mare Coronado Rose, consigned by Bryan Ford Training Stable, agent.
  • Hip 54, a filly by El Deal out of the stakes-winning mare Coteau Kitten, consigned by Pike Racing, agent.
  • Hip 65, a colt by Frosted  out of the winning Union Rags  mare, D J's Favorite, consigned by Clary Bloodstock, agent.
  • Hip 94, a colt by Practical Joke  out of In Gold Blood, consigned by Pike Racing, agent.
  • Hip 118, a filly by Army Mule  out of Lulu Bains, by Constitution , consigned by Twin Oaks Training Center, agent.
  • Hip 190, a colt by Lord Nelson out of the stakes placed mare Malibu Party, consigned by Oak Creek Thoroughbreds, agent.

"It's not every year in Texas we get a :09 4/5 breeze and she did it the right way," TTA sales director Foster Bridewell said. "We had seven get the eighth mile in :10 1/5, which is also very impressive over the dirt here in Texas. We're grateful to our consignors and the owners of these athletes for bringing them to Texas to sell and we're looking forward to Wednesday's sale."

The breeze results and videos are available online at TTAsales.com. The 2023 Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale is April 5, beginning at 10 a.m. (CT), at Lone Star Park.
