Harness: Brittany yearling roster now available

In what will be the final consignment from one of the world’s greatest breeding farms, the roster of Brittany Farms’ 2024 sale yearlings is now available on the farm’s website, britfarms.com.

The yearlings — all dual eligible — will be sold at the Lexington Selected Sale commencing on Monday, Sept. 30 and concluding on Friday, Oct. 4 at the Fasig-Tipton Newtown Paddocks.

Pedigrees for each horse are updated daily. Videos will be shot later in the summer and linked from the top of the “Yearlings” web page.

Although the farm’s closure has been long planned, it wasn’t in the books to “save the best for last” — but that’s exactly how it appears.

The yearlings are led a powerful group from the highly anticipated first crop of Brittany-bred 2 and 3-year-old champion pacer Perfect Sting. Those include a terrific colt who’s the first foal of a stakes winning sister to millionaire Blue Diamond Eyes, and a stunning filly from 2 and 3-year-old Breeders Crown champion Reflect With Me.

A top selection of blue-blooded trotters will line the shedrow as usual, by such sought-after sires as Chapter Seven, Walner, Father Patrick and even the great French champion Bold Eagle.
