Lexington, KY — A new chapter in the Standardbred industry begins this fall with the official launch of Alliance Bloodstock, a fresh partnership dedicated to excellence in consigning and sales. The company, a collaboration between industry powerhouses Diamond Creek and Northwood Bloodstock, will make its official debut with a premier consignment at the upcoming Lexington Selected Sale.
Alliance Bloodstock proudly features over 50 top-bred yearlings showcased throughout the week in Barn 7. The consignment represents a wide range of stallions, including Bulldog Hanover, Captaintreacherous, Captain Corey, Chapter Seven, Downbytheseaside, Muscle Hill, Sweet Lou, Tactical Landing, and the first crops of Ecurie D DK and Pebble Beach. Alliance represents some of the sport’s top breeders, including Anthony Perretti Farm, Caviart Farm, Diamond Creek, Princeton Farm, Sergent Stables, Shandon Farm and Sugar Valley Farm.
Alliance Bloodstock merges the deep expertise and passion of Diamond Creek and Northwood Bloodstock,” said Shaun Laungani. “Our shared commitment is to offer buyers quality and variety at every level of the market. We aim to build on our initial success at the Jug Sale, where we were the leading consignor by average (for more than four horses sold) and sold the top two highest-priced pacers.”
Some featured yearlings:
- Hip 2 CAPTAIN VALENTINE SGT: A colt by CAPTAINTREACHEROUS and the first foal from the two-time O’Brien Award pacing filly SCARLETT HANOVER.
- Hip 28 SISTER GIRL BLUES: A dual eligible CAPTAINTREACHEROUS filly and the first foal from a full sister to two-time Dan Patch Award winner, WARRAWEE UBEAUT – producer of 2yo KYSS champion UBRUTE (1:49.4, $269,600).
