This year's Texas Summer Yearling and Mixed Sale has been set for Monday, Aug. 24 at Lone Star Park. The entry deadline is June 15.
“We have a record number of entries for the Texas 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale on April 3, and we anticipate added interest in this auction thanks to all the positive things going on with Texasracing,” said Mary Ruyle, executive director of the TTA.
Up to $25 million annually is being pumped into the Texas horse industry due to legislation passed last year, and purses at the current Sam Houston Race Park meet and upcoming Lone StarPark meet are at their highest in years.
“With the enhanced purses at Texas tracks and added incentives for accredited Texas-breds, the Southwest region has never been stronger,” added Tim Boyce, sales director. “In addition to an added number of horses, we anticipate an increase in quality just like we saw with the consignments for the 2-year-old sale.”
