Yearling videos for Brittany Farms’ Lexington Selected Sale consignment are now available on the farm’s website. This will be the final season of the streaming yearling videos that have come to be known as “Britflix,” as the farm will close at the end of the year.
The yearling videos are available on the farm's video portal and may be viewed at brittanyfarms.smugmug.com.
Brittany manager Art Zubrod said this final yearling offering “is certainly among our best-ever consignments in terms of pedigree, conformation and athleticism.”
All yearlings are dual eligible to their sire’s own sire stakes program and to the Kentucky Sire Stakes, which has quickly risen to become one of the industry’s most lucrative and popular events.
Leading the way is the first crop of pacers by Brittany’s own Perfect Sting p,2,1:49.2; 3,1:48.1 ($1,787,281), the first horse in harness racing history to win the Breeders Crown as both a two and three-year-old and be voted the Dan Patch Award winner both years. The striking stallion is bred to be a sire of speed, as he is a son of world champions Always B Miki (1:46) and Shebestingin (1:47).
Zubrod noted that trotters, including those by Chapter Seven and his son Walner, are not to be missed.
He said, “They’re the types of horses you’ll find competing on the first Saturday in August at The Meadowlands.”
Brittany’s consignment includes seven first foals, including a Bold Eagle filly from a Walner daughter of Oaks winner Lifetime Pursuit; a Perfect Sting colt from a sister to millionaire Blue Diamond Eyes; and a Walner colt from two and three-year-old stakes winner Sisters Promise.
Siblings and close relatives to a bevy of stakes standouts — like Breeders Crown two-year-old champion Special Way, Secret Agent Man and Odds On Platinum — are also in the mix.
