Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 210 selected yearlings for the 100th Saratoga Sale, to be held on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 9 and 10, in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Sessions will begin each evening at 6:30 p.m. in the Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion.
“We are returning to Saratoga in style this year, as we celebrate the sale of a century, the 100th Saratoga Sale,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “For 100 years, Saratoga has produced breed-shapers, champions, classic winners, and international stars. This year's catalog is outstanding, offering the type of quality that has drawn buyers to Saratoga in search of the sport's very best for a century.”
Saratoga is the first major North American yearling sale to reach the milestone of 100 renewals. The sale returns this year after being cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19, the first time the sale had not been held since World War II.
To commemorate the 100th Saratoga Sale, this year's catalog includes a fold out timeline that outlines major events in the sale's history, as well as a gallery of the sale's most prominent graduates through the years.
In statistics recently released by The BloodHorse MarketWatch, Saratoga once again ranks at the top of all major North American yearling sales in numerous performance categories. Most notably, the sale is ranked first by percentage of Grade 1 winners and graded stakes winners produced from yearlings sold.
“Recent graduates like Grade 1 winners Known Agenda, Valiance, and current undefeated 3-year-old colt First Captain are carrying on the century long tradition of Saratoga Sale quality,” continued Browning. “We look forward to welcoming buyers and sellers back to our historic sales grounds this August as we offer the next generation of racing's stars.”
The catalog may now be viewed online, and will also be available in the equineline sales catalogue app. Print catalogs are also now available.
