The just completed 2021 Lexington Selected Yearling Sale was an all-time record-setter for the sales company — and for Brittany Farms as well! Brittany sold the sale-topping pacing yearling and ranked third among all consignors in sale average.
Brittany thanks all those who inspected, bid on and purchased the yearlings; and of course buyers are wished the best of success as these horse embark on their racing careers.
Leading the way among the farm’s yearlings was Hip No. 20 Seashell (

Three other yearlings sold for $250,000 and higher — Captaintreacherous half-brothers to Pebble Beach and Heart Of Mine and the Bettor’s Delight filly first foal from a sister to the great American Jewel.
In all, Brittany’s 24 head sold in Lexington grossed $2.8-million, included 10 that sold for $100,000 or more and averaged $115,542, ranking the farm third in overall sale average.
As a back-to-back recipient of harness racing’s “Breeder of the Year” award — and the leading farm in average earnings per starter for the past three years — Brittany is more focused than ever in delivering a racing product that is among the best one will find anywhere. The farm’s 2021 yearling consignment is proof of that effort.
