Ruidoso Downs, NM - August 22, 2010 - An unnamed Thoroughbred filly by Devon Lane was sold for $53,500 on Saturday, topping the two-day New Mexico-Bred Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse Yearling Sale at Ruidoso Downs.

The filly’s half sister, Queen Of Millbrook, is a daughter of Distinctive Pro who won the 1997 Lady Finger Stakes (R) and ’98 New York Oaks (R) at Finger Lakes.
