The 2023 foaling season has started at Brittany Farms, as under the watchful eyes of our veteran crew the stars of tomorrow are born to what is perhaps the most select broodmare band in all of harness racing. First out: a royally-bred Walner filly.

Brittany Farms owner George Segal, along with farm manager Art Zubrod and his wife Leah Cheverie, recently announced plans to close the farm in the fall of 2025, after that year’s yearling consignment is sold at the Lexington Selected Sale.
Brittany Farms was harness racing’s leading breeder in average earnings per starter in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021… and it repeated the title again in 2022!
Two mares carrying first-crop foals by 2 and 3-year-old Dan Patch and Breeders Crown champion Perfect Sting were the top-priced in-foal pacing broodmares sold at the Harrisburg Mixed Sale on Thursday, Nov. 10.
Brittany bred and raised Special Way, shown with trainer Ake Svanstedt and his wife, Sarah, was last year's 2YO Breeders Crown and Dan Patch Champion filly. She was among the horses that helped propel Brittany-breds to $8.5-million in 2022 earnings and to the no. 1 ranking in average earnings — for the fifth year in a row!
