Hoosier Standardbred Farm, which has been in existence for 47 years, has eight yearlings headed to the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26. One of the six trotters included in the mix has the distinct bloodlines that has led to previous champions. Flying Swan will become only the fourth foal by Swan for All from a Dream Vacation mare to enter the racing ranks and join an impressive group of descendants from that line.
Flying Swan will be part of the Hoosier Standardbred consignment at the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale Oct. 25 and 26 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
