Heartbreak Express consigned by Beverly L. Servi, was the sale’s high-seller at $200,000
The final day of the 2026 Western Bloodstock NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Sales brought the weekend’s highest bid, with Heartbreak Express selling for $200,000 during Saturday’s Session II of the Select Yearling and Broodmare Sale.
