Juveniles are expected to dominate Tuesday’s Winter Mixed Sale at Fairplex in Pomona, Calif., one of two annual sales held in the state. Of the 203 horses in the catalog and on the list of supplemental entries, there are 120 2-year-olds, 35 yearlings, 27 broodmares, 10 3-year-olds, eight 4-year-olds, and three 5-year-olds. The absence of a 2-year-olds in training sale in California since 2021 has led numerous consignors in the state to offer early year juveniles at the Winter Mixed Sale, conducted by the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association. Four consignors dominate the juveniles market – Terry Lovingier’s Lovacres Ranch with 43, followed by Rancho San Miguel (20),  and Milky Way Farm (17). Harris Farms has 15 2-year-olds among its consignment, four as agent and 11 for the farm. Harris Farms officials said the farm would reduce its bloodstock holdings following the death of farm owner John Harris last July. :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing!

The Lovacres consignment has 31 juveniles by Stay Thirsty, who finished second in progeny earnings in 2025 among California stallions who stood in the state. Grazen, who led the list, has one 2-year-old filly and a yearling colt in Tuesday’s sale. Collected, who was relocated from Kentucky to California in late 2025, had progeny earnings above Grazen and Stay Thirsty last year and is recognized as the state’s leading stallion last year. Collected, who does not have any yearlings or 2-year-olds in Tuesday’s sale, will stand his first season at Rancho San Miguel in California this year. The Lovacres consignment includes a California-bred by the Kentucky-based stallion McKinzie, who ranked third on the national progeny standings for second-crop stallions last year. The sale includes yearlings and 2-year-olds by Clubhouse Ride and Sir Prancealot, who ranked among California’s top 10 stallions in progeny earnings. There is a yearling by Stanford and 2-year-olds by Midnight Storm, stallions who also were part of the top 10. This year’s Winter Mixed Sale catalog is much larger than the 2025 auction, which had 144 horses. The 2025 sale was dominated by the dispersal of racing and breeding stock of prominent California owner and breeder Don Valpredo, who died in 2024. The Valpredo consignment included the mare Shocking Grey, who sold for $170,000 and was the most expensive hip of the auction. Shocking Grey was the only hip to sell for more than six figures. She was winless in five starts at Emerald Downs and Santa Anita through 2025. Overall, 83 horses sold for $1,228,200 in 2025, according to sale company figures. The average price was $14,780, while the median reached $8,000. In 2024, 111 horses sold at the Winter Mixed Sale for $1,063,800, an average of $8,568. The median was $6,500 at the 2024 sale. After Tuesday’s sale, Fasig-Tipton will conduct a yearling sale in Pomona in September. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
