Yearlings by the leading third-crop stallion Vekoma and top-ten freshman stallions Nashville and Cyberknife, as well as yearlings by Army Mule, Dialed In, Jackie’s Warrior, and Aurelius Maximus are represented in the 2026 Texas Summer Yearling Sale catalog.
First crop stallions Gunite, Fulsome, Pappacap, Zandon, and Kentucky Derby winner Mage also have yearlings in the catalog. In total, 148 yearlings are cataloged to sell at the 2026 Texas Summer Yearling Sale on August 25th at The Mary Ruyle Sales Pavilion at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas.
“We’re thrilled with the diversity and quality that we’ve attracted to our 2026 Texas Summer Yearling Sale,” Texas Thoroughbred Association Sales Director Foster Bridewell said. “We have yearlings by featured national and regional stallions as well as siblings to stakes horses from deep black type families.”
Sales graduates are now eligible for up to six stakes races for horses who pass through the Texas sales with purses totalling $700,000. The Texas Thoroughbred Association Board of Directors approved a pair of new sales-restricted $100,000 stakes races for two-year-olds, a filly division and a colt/gelding division, that will be held in partnership with Lone Star Park during the spring/summer meet starting in 2027. These two races join a strong stakes schedule for sales graduates with the two divisions of the TTA Sales Futurity held at Sam Houston Race Park and the TTA Derby and TTA Oaks at Lone Star Park.
“Adding these two new stakes races for TTA Sales graduates certainly adds incentive for our consignors, sellers, and buyers,” Bridewell said. “I thank the TTA Board members for supporting our sales and continuing to promote a positive racing environment for our breeders, sellers, and buyers.”
There will also be a Horses of Racing Age portion to the 2026 sale in August. Those horses are cataloged as Hips 159-163. Texas-breds Blingster, winner of a division of the Texas Stallion Series and the Two Altazano at Sam Houston, and TX Code, winner of the Assault Stakes at Lone Star Park, headline the race horse portion of the sale.
A digital PDF catalog and the interactive catalog are available at TTAsales.com. Catalogs will be mailed. Supplements to the catalog are anticipated.
