Two-Year-Old in Training Sale
Also called: 2YO sale, juvenile sale, two-year-olds in training sale
A two-year-old in training sale is a public auction of 2-year-old thoroughbreds that have already been broken and put into training; buyers watch each horse breeze a short timed work at an under-tack show before bidding.
These sales reward horses that breeze fast, look athletic, and vet sound. They run in the spring, and a strong showing can turn a modest yearling purchase into a major sale. They're the natural finish line for a pinhook.
