As overcast skies on Sunday at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas gave way to sunshine, fillies by Cuvee and Aggie Southpaw turned in the co-fastest one-furlong breezes in :10.20 during the under-tack show for Tuesday’s Fasig-Tipton Texas two-year-olds in training sale.

A colt by Storm Day posted the fastest quarter-mile time of :22.20 on track rated as fast.

An Oklahoma-bred filly by the Forty Niner stallion Aggie Southpaw was the first to stop the timer in :10.20. Named Nice N Icy, the filly is out of the winning Irish Open mare Sweet Laur.

The filly is consigned by Robert Brewer, agent, who consigned the sale-topper last year, a Storm Passage colt who was purchased by Heiligbrodt Racing Stable for $180,000. Named Righteous Brother, last year’s sale topper has posted one win, two seconds, and two thirds in six starts.

A Louisiana-bred filly, named Louisiana Lace, from the first crop of 2003 Futurity Stakes (G1) winner Cuvee also drilled an eighth in :10.20 later in the afternoon. From the consignment of Pike Racing, agent, the filly is out of Count the Cows, a stakes-placed mare by Western Playboy who has produced three winners.

A Louisiana-bred Storm Day colt completed the fastest two-furlong breeze. Consigned by Diamond D Ranch, agent, the colt is out of the Hazaam mare Am Flippy, a half sister to Grade 1 winner Swap Fliparoo. The Storm Day colt is from the female family of Grade 1 winner Flip’s Pleasure.

The first horse in a catalog of 303 two-year-olds is set to go through the ring at 10 a.m. CDT on Tuesday at the Texas Thoroughbred Sales Pavilion at Lone Star.
