GRAND PRAIRIE, Tex. (Apr. 4, 2022) — A California-bred colt by Straight Fire was worth the wait at the 2022 Texas Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale breeze show April 4.
Cataloged in the supplement as Hip 144, the colt was the last horse on the track Monday afternoon, delivering the fastest eighth-mile breeze, stopping the clock in :10 1/5 on the Lone Star Park oval. Consigned by Pike Racing as agent, the LNJ Foxwood-bred colt is out of the winning Excellent Art mare Luckfromabove (IRE). Her first foal to race, a full sister to this colt, is a winner. Luckfromabove is a half sister to group 3 winner, group 1-placed Offer (IRE) (Montjeu (IRE) and stakes winners Musha Merr (IRE) (Sadler’s Wells (IRE) and Cymbal (IRE) (Singspiel (IRE)).
Second crop sire Straight Fire, a grade-1 placed son of Dominus, is represented by two-time stakes winner Straight Up G in 2022.

“I think the quality horses the consignors sent to us for this sale really put on a show today,” TTA Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “The last horse to breeze drops the bullet, we had six go :10 2/5, and 17 stopped the timer in :10 3/5; that’s a testament to the horses and the training leading up. We owe a debt of gratitude to the folks that trust us to sell for them and we’re thankful for the consignors who have brought these athletes to this sale.”
