OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—OCTOBER 30, 2025–Hip #116 Empressum Twopoint O, a brother to world champion Empressum, topped the opening session of the 49th annual Heritage Fall Mixed Sale on Thursday when the hammer fell at $700,000, the highest Heritage Place yearling for the 2025 sale season.

Empressum TwoPoint O Partners signed the ticket for the son of leading sire Apollitical Jess from the First Down Dash mare Crazy Down Corona. 13 Racing LLC, Agent for Steve Holt & Jeff Jones, consigned the colt who is also a half-brother to champion and All American Futurity winner Hes Judgeandjury.

"We are very grateful for the opportunity to sell such an individual and appreciate the connections for trusting Heritage Place to sell this yearling," Heritage Place General Manager Spence Kidney said Thursday.  "We wish the best of racing luck to the new ownership group!"

Overall, the sale average for day 1 was $24,447, with 88% of the Quarter Horses offered marked as sold. Analyzing the sale without the tremendously high seller reveals an average of $18,074, which is identical to last year’s average on Quarter Horse Yearlings.
