A filly by Too Much Bling (hip 19) topped the Texas Summer Yearling Sale Monday at Lone Star Park when selling for $100,000 to Mansfield Racing. Consigned by Highlander Training Center, the gray filly is out of Soft Music (Action This Day) and is a full-sister to 2016 Champion Texas-bred 2-Year-Old Filly Bling on the Music.
“We're obviously thrilled that a Texas-bred by one of our state's most influential stallions led the sale,” TTA Director Foster Bridewell said. “She was a beautiful filly and the full-sister went through this same sales ring before going on to become a Texas champion. We're thankful to breeder Danele Durham and Highlander Training Center for allowing us the opportunity to offer her here.”
A total of 161 horses sold during the one-session auction for a gross of $3.41 million. The average was $21,186, up from the 2021 figure of $18,246 and the median of $14,500 was up from last year's figure of $10,000.
“We can't thank our breeders, owners, consignors, and buyers enough for such a great sale,” Bridewell said. “The record results are an indication of the strength of the industry in this region right now and a testament to the hard work a lot of people put in to prepare these yearlings for this year.”
