Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 302 selected yearlings for The July Sale, to be held on Tuesday, July 12, at the company's Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Ky.  The sale will begin at 10 a.m.

“We look forward to leading off yearling sales season with another strong July catalog of precocious, athletic yearlings,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “The sale will begin with the Freshman Sire Showcase – a tremendous success last year following its reintroduction – and then transition into the more proven sire-laden segment of the catalog. We have very strong representation from leading general sires this year.”

According to statistics recently released by The BloodHorse Marketwatch, Fasig-Tipton July is the top-ranked major North American yearling sales by percentage of stakes winners, winners, and two-year-old winners.  It is ranked second by percentage of graded stakes winners and earners of $150,000 or more, only trailing Fasig-Tipton's Saratoga Sale in these categories. The sale is ranked third by percentage of Grade 1 winners.

This year's catalog cover features recent graduates of both the July Sale and 2020 Selected Yearlings Showcase, Fasig-Tipton's only selected yearling sale in Kentucky that year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Featured on the front cover are Grade 1 winners Kalypso, Cyberknife, Grace Adler, and Jack Christopher. The back cover features another 15 graded stakes winners, including Bell's the One, Forbidden Kingdom, Lone Rock, Smile Happy, Special Reserve, and Tiz the Bomb.

“July is the sale to find athletes and the stats bear that out,” noted Browning.  “Moreover, one only needs to look at this year's catalog cover to see the strength of graduates generated from Fasig-Tipton's yearling selection process.”

Nominations are also now open for Fasig-Tipton's July Selected Horses of All Ages Sale, which will be held the day prior to The July Sale, on Monday, July 11. Traditionally the sale offered just horses of racing age, but this year has been expanded to include breeding stock. Fasig-Tipton will accept nominations up until sale time; however, to make the initial catalog release, entries should be finalized by June 17.

The July Sale catalog may now be viewed online and will also be available via the Equineline catalogue app. Print catalogs will be available by June 17.

Nobody understands the hardships the small breeder endures better than small breeders.

For the farms who are managed and employed by two or three people, a family or even alone, one small crisis can be a huge blow to that farm, essentially putting them out of the business and industry they love. It is for that reason that the Indiana Thoroughbred Alliance (ITA) has created a crisis fund for Indiana Thoroughbred breeders.

“When you're faced with a disaster, it's more the aftermath that hits you the hardest,” says ITA board member Christine Cagle, who was faced with such a disaster this past winter. “You feel so alone and drowning. Yet, we're so proud that we don't want to ask for help.”

Last month, Christine and her husband, Vince, hosted a large gathering at Cedar Creek Winery and Brewery in Martinsville, Ind., as a thank you for all the help and support the couple received when their farm was consumed by a fire. The event highlighted the meaning of family, support and small business, thanks to food donated by Maple Grove Market, a silent auction, pie contest and pie-in-the-face contest. All the proceeds from the afternoon went towards the ITA to help create a crisis fund for the future.

The event raised almost $5,000 – a small drop in the bucket for some, but a big boost should someone need it.

“A lot of the small breeders don't have health insurance or sufficient savings, should something happen, which is why we wanted to create something like this,” says Cagle.

The ITA would like to thank the groups that made the event a success, including Maple Grove Market, Horseshoe Indianapolis, Cedar Creek Winery and music played by the 78s. More events are in the works to help raise more money for the crisis fund as the ITA board works to develop a plan for applications and distribution.

“Hoosiers are known for their hospitality and making things work, so doing something so we can stand up and say, 'Here's a little bit of something to help ease the pain. How else can we help you?' is just one way we can support each other,” says Tony Wolfe, DVM, president of the ITA.

More information regarding the Indiana Thoroughbred Breeders Crisis Fund will be made available later this summer and can be found on the ITA website http://indianaTB.org. For more information, follow the ITA on social media.
