The 2026 Lexington Selected Yearling Sale got underway on Monday, Oct. 5, with the Walner colt Kountry Prince topping the opening session as he went through the sales ring for $1,178,571 ($825,000 USD). Selling as hip 79, Kountry Prince was purchased by Ake Svanstedt of Wrightstown, New Jersey. Kountry Lane Standardbreds consigned the colt, who is out of world champion Plunge Blue Chip (1:49.4 - $1,596,841), and is a three-quarter brother to the undefeated New York Sire Stakes champion, Kountry Plunge (1:54.1 - $399,827).

The hammer dropped for $714,285 ($500,000 USD) on Hey Bulldog as the son of Bulldog Hanover garnered the highest price of day two of the sale on Tuesday. The colt is out of the Captaintreacherous mare Coronet, out of O'Brien and Dan Patch Award recipient American Jewel. Coronet is a half-sister to millionaire and 2024 Ontario Sires Stakes Super Final champion and Lynch Memorial winner Odds On Platinum. Her latest foal, Dame Frances (by Pebble Beach) won a Kentucky Sire Stakes leg and final this season, with a 1:50.4 track-record performance at Oak Grove Racing in the latter. Hey Bulldog, Hip 198, was consigned by Hunterton Sales Agency and purchased by Andrew Harris of Allentown, New Jersey, acting as an agent for Punisher 11 Stable.

Creole Queen brought the highest winning bid of the third session on Wednesday. Marcus Melander of New Egypt, New Jersey, acting as agent, made the $392,857 ($275,000 USD) buy on the filly, Hip 429. The daughter of Tactical Landing is out of Father Patrick Mare Bayou, a half-sister to Breeders Crown champion Bond and stakes winner Midwind Chimp. Creole Queen’s third dam is Bella Dolce, who produced Bella Bellini, the 2022 Dan Patch Trotter of the Year and two-time Breeders Crown winner. The filly was consigned by Alliance Bloodstock.
