Prospects for the Southern Hemisphere’s upcoming breeding season got much brighter after Brittany Farms announced that frozen semen from champion pacer Perfect Sting and the late, great trotting sire Cantab Hall will be available there this fall.
Brittany Farms-bred Special Way 2,1:52 ($712,745), last year’s richest and fastest 2-year-old filly trotter and Dan Patch Champion, embarked on her journey to hopefully bigger and better things with a win in her first start of the year.
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 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!
