Season to Midway Road on TTA Stallion Season Auction site

I throw this in as an FYI for those still not settled on their breeding plans - not a "promo" as I really don't know anything about this stallion and haven't yet gone to check him out. (From the Texas Thoroughbred Association website):

Season to new Texas stallion Midway Road added to TTA Stallion Season Auction

2/2/2006



A season to new Texas stallion Midway Road has been donated to the Texas Thoroughbred Association Stallion Season Auction. To place a bid on this season, contact TTA Business Manager Mary Ruyle at 512-458-6133 or [email protected].

The 6-year-old Midway Road stands at Lane's End Texas near Hempstead for a fee of $4,000, which is also the minimum bid for the Live Foal Guarantee season.

One of the most awe-inspiring performances in recent years came in the 2004 Ben Ali Stakes (G3) at Keeneland, when Midway Road drew off to an eye-popping 11 ¼-length victory while setting a track record for 1 1/8 miles in 1:46.78. That effort earned the son of Jade Hunter a 123 Beyer Speed Figure, the third-highest of the entire year.
