Following is a list of stallions with 3-year-olds entered in Monday's Fasig-Tipton July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale, regardless of their number of years at stud, including the number of horses cataloged and the farm where the stallion is currently advertised.
With much of the racing calendar still ahead of us, a sophomore offered in the Fasig-Tipton July sale sale still has plenty of time to take advantage of their age-related conditions in 2023, and develop into an even better horse in the years to come. There is still plenty of blue sky for many of the 3-year-old runners in the catalog.
Here are the sires with sophomores in the Fasig-Tipton July sale, along with analysis on that portion of the market by Kip Elser of Kirkwood Equine Advisory.

Analysis of the Fasig-Tipton July HORA Sale's 3-year-old market from Kip Elser of Kirkwood Equine Advisory:
In an industry that seems to be going through an evolution on every front these days, one of the less controversial and more beneficial changes we've seen take place is the increase in horses of racing age (HORA) sales, which allows people to buy and sell based on their cash flow and inventory needs rather than waiting until the racing season has concluded. This week's July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale comes at a perfect time for both buyers and sellers, and the team at Fasig-Tipton has put together a great group of horses.
For buyers, it's at an advantageous time of year. We've gotten an opportunity this year to see where many of these horses will be competitive throughout the remainder of the year. For those top tier racing operations chasing those elite Grade 1 wins, they have 2-year-olds waiting for a spot at the track and they are gearing up to shop for yearlings. Their excess inventory, however, could well be the stars of the stable for the vast majority of owners and trainers.
Furthermore, this week's sale has quite a few fillies that have a good bit of racing left in them before they retire to the breeding shed. While I am no tax expert, I do know that racing stock traditionally depreciates more quickly than breeding stock, so there are some tax benefits to shopping for fillies this time of year and having some fun with them at the races before thinking about mating plans.
