Fasig-Tipton's July Selected Horses of All Ages Sale is open for nominations. Scheduled for Monday, July 11, the sale will be held in Lexington the day immediately prior to Fasig-Tipton's July Selected Yearling Sale.
The sale has been both expanded and renamed. Originally the July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale, it will now include not just horses of racing age, but also broodmares, broodmares with a foal at their side, and broodmare prospects.
“Last year, we conducted a dispersal in July which allowed us to open up the sale to additional breeding stock,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “Offering summer breeding stock was positively received by buyers, and that success prompted us to make this a permanent July fixture to complement our strong horses of racing age market.”
Last year's racehorse topper was SW & GSP Front Run the Fed (Fed Biz), who hammered for $440,000 to buyer George Sharp. The breeding stock session was topped by SW Jeweled Princess (Cairo Prince), who sold for $225,000 to Stoneriggs Farm while carrying her first foal by Gun Runner.
Entries for the initial online catalogue release will close June 17, but Fasig-Tipton will continue to add approved entries after that date up until sale time. For more information, visit julyhoaa.fasigtipton.com.
