Full brother to Gruesome Twosome offered

Some farms are staples in the Indiana breeding industry and Topville Acres of Topeka, Ind. is one of those farms. They have a small but powerful consignment for 2026 spread out over several venues with three headed to the Midwest Standardbred Horse Sale in mid October.

 

The Topville Acres consignment kicks off with an impressive entry as Hip No. 32 with Topville Affinity entering the ring. The You Know You Do colt will garner a lot of attention as the full brother to standout trotter Gruesome Twosome, a winner in 1:52.1 with more than $729,000 on his card and now a stallion. Topville Affinity is the latest foal from the Donato Hanover mare All Sets Lets Go, a winner in 1:57.3 with $121,000 on her card while racing in Pennsylvania Sires Stakes. In addition to Gruesome Twosome, she has produced Trickin, a winner in 1:56.1 with $30,000 on his card and Mr Instigator, a winner in 1:56.1 with $74,000. The family comes into talent with strong ties as the second dam is the mother of Measuredperfection, a winner in 1:53.1 with more than $347,000 in earnings.

 

The second entrant in the Midwest Standardbred Horse Sale for Topville Acres is another standout trotting prospect Topville Famousdan, a son of Dover Dan. The colt is the second foal from the mare Frankly Fabulous, who is a half sister to Perfect Image, a winner in 1:55.2 with $135,000 on her card. Topville Famousdan is staked to all the major events, including the Hambletonian, which he could be part of at Harrah’s Hoosier Park in 2028. He sells as Hip No. 172.

Topville Acres will serve as agent for a third and final entrant, La Martinitis, selling as Hip No. 357. The Tellitlikeitis filly is the latest foal from the Indiana Sires Stakes contender Sapphire Martini, who earned a mark of 1:53.3 and more than $137,000 during her career. She has produced numerous winners including La Always Amartini, a winner in 1:51.2 with $412,000, LA Rockin Sampson, 1:51.1, $273,000, and La Rockin Shania, 1:51.4, $160,000. Sapphire Martini also brings in strong maternal lines as she is a half sister to the great Radar Contact, a winner in 1:49.2 with nearly $1 million in earnings. She is also a half sister to Topville Cadillac, a winner in 1:50.2 with $352,000 in earnings. The filly joins the Topville Acres consignment and was raised by Loamy Acres of Goshen, Ind.

 

The Topville Acres consignment can be found in Aisle 5 of the West Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. For more information on their yearlings, contact the farm at (260) 350-0827.

Photo of Lyin' Eyes and Joey Putnam by Dean Gillette Lyin’ Eyes and Joey Putnam were the only ones to dip below the 1:50 time barrier Saturday, August 29 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. The duo scored the win in the $22,000 Fillies and Mares Open Pace, earning a new lifetime mark in the process. Lyin’ Eyes began from post one and used that to her advantage when the gate opened for the race. She had just enough early speed to slide in behind Yankee B Something and Geremy Bobbitt, who passed by the quarter in :26.2. Lyin’ Eyes out and moving to the front, settling in before the half in :54.4. This spurred an outer flow to form led by Adashious Hanover and Trace Tetrick. At the head of the lane, Lyin’ Eyes was battling with Adashious Hanover on the outside with Yankee B Something had room to move up the inside. But Lyin’ Eyes kept on task, rallying all the way to the wire for the win in 1:49.4, a final quarter paced in :26.4. Reason to Shine A and LeWayne Miller closed in for second over Naked on a Hill and Brandon Bates for third. Lyin’ Eyes paid $9.40 for the win. The five-year-old daughter of Odds on Equuleus is owned by JP Racing, Joey Putnam, and Crazy Parrot Farm. Joe Putnam handles the training of the mare who originated from Silver Linden Farms. Lyin’ Eyes earned her second win of 2026 and her 11 th overall. She increased her career bankroll to more than $526,000 with the win. She has spent her entire career with the Putnam barn, a $21,000 purchase from the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale. Her second dam is a big producer, including Martini Hanover (1:49.0, $487,000). Lyin’ Eyes dam, Miswave Hanover, is a 100 percent producer with three winners from three foals of racing age, including three-year-old Change of Order (1:53.0, $39,000) and Table for Four (1:54.0, $23,000). The night at Harrah’s Hoosier Park was filled with all types of activities, including the second annual Lowrider 500 featuring Weiner Dog racing. Fans surrounded the front paddock as preliminary rounds were held to determine the final field for the main event on the racetrack. Skinny Lenny was the overall winner followed by Archie and Ellie. The Saturday card also included not one but two dead-heats on the night. Wild Rosa (Brandon Bates) and Prtynproud Hanover (Trace Tetrick) hit the wire together in the $12,000 conditioned pace in 1:50.3. A few races later, Woodmere Harriet (Todd Warren) and Schnapps (Anthony Miller) also could not be separated at the wire for the dead heat win in 1:54.0 in the conditioned pace.
