“I don't think there were any surprises today,” Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning said of the July Selected Horses of Racing Age sale. “It was a very active market with very competitive bidding throughout the day. [It had a] really vibrant feel to it.”

Front Run the Fed (Hip 647), a 5-year-old stakes winning son of Fed Biz, topped the sale when sold for $440,000 to George Sharp (video).

“I got tired of being outbid, and decided I was going to go to half a million on this one, because I want to go to the Breeders' Cup this year,” Sharp said. “I've got some nice 2-year-old fillies that I think I'll get there with, but this one is hopefully certainly going to get me there.

“We might race him once in Del Mar, almost certainly Kentucky Downs, and then the Breeders' Cup,” he continued.

ELiTE, agent consigned the five-year-old son of Fed Biz, who is a multiple graded stakes placed stakes winner with earnings of $392,150 to date. Front Run the Fed's current record stands at 4-4-2 in 13 career starts, including a win in the Better Talk Now Stakes at three and placings in the 2020 Grade 3 Runhappy Turf Sprint Stakes and 2021 G3 Poker Stakes behind Grade 1 winners Oleksandra (AUS) and Raging Bull (FR).

Recent Iowa Derby winner Stilleto Boy (Hip 557)  was the second-highest priced offering of the day, selling for $420,000 to Steve Moger (video).

Paramount Sales, agent consigned the 3-year-old Shackleford gelding, who has earned $249,675. Stilleto Boy has been in the money in all of his seven career starts, with a record of 2-2-2. Stilleto Boy is a half-brother to eight other winners out of 100-percent winner-producer Rosie's Ransom, including stakes winner Rosie My Rosie (Purge).

The top-priced filly was Josie (Hip 501) who got the sale off to a spectacular start when sold for $300,000 to KatieRich Farms as the first horse through the ring (video).

ELiTE, agent consigned the 4-year-old Race Day filly, who won the Iowa Distaff Stakes at Prairie Meadows on July 3 to increase earnings to $266,867. Josie has a record of 4-4-2 in 14 career starts, and is having a an excellent 2021, with three wins in four starts to date. Josie is one of seven winners out of the stakes winning Awesome Again mare Spirited Away, who has also produced Grade 2 winner/multiple graded stakes winner Prospective (Malibu Moon) and Malibu Cove (Malibu Moon), dam of Grade 2 winner/Grade 1 placed Kalypso.

In total, 79 horses of racing age sold for $5,905,500, up 16.4 percent from when 81 horses sold for $5,072,000 last year. The average rose 19.4 percent to $74,753 from $62,617 in 2020, while the median rose 66.7 percent to $50,000 from $30,000 last year. Fifteen horses sold for $100,000 or more, compared to 11 in 2020.

Hip 448, Jeweled Princess, brought $225,000 at the 2021 Fasig-Tipton July Breeding Stock Sale.

Jeweled Princess (Hip 448), a stakes winning daughter of Cairo Prince, topped the July Breeding Stock sale when sold for $225,000 to Stoneriggs Farm (video).

Gainesway consigned the 4-year-old filly, who was offered carrying her first foal, by Horse of the Year and current leading first-crop sire Gun Runner. Jeweled Princess is out of a Scat Daddy half-sister to current stakes winner Miss Brazil, from the immediate family of Horse of the Year Military Attack, two-time champion Gladiatorus, and Grade/Group 1 winners Al Bahathri, Haafhd, The Hangman.

Colonial Creed (Hip 434), a multiple graded stakes placed daughter of Jimmy Creed, took the top broodmare prospect spot when sold for $175,000 to Andre Lynch, agent. South Point Sales Agency consigned the 5-year-old mare, who is a twice graded stakes placed winner who earned $223,881. Colonial Creed is half-sister to multiple graded stakes placed stakes winner Mo d'Amour (Uncle Mo), from the immediate family of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf victor Line of Duty (IRE).

The most expensive broodmare with a foal-at-foot was multiple stakes winner Too Much Prada (Hip 421), who sold for $150,000 to The Elkstone Group with her 2021 Violence filly. Stuart Morris, agent for Far From Over/Fountain of Youth Dispersal consigned the 8-year-old Too Much Bling mare, who is a full sister to stakes winner Prada's Bling. Too Much Prada has a 2-year-old filly by Violence, which has not started, and a yearling colt by Violence. Her 2021 Violence filly was bred in Kentucky by BTSK Breeding and Racing.

“In the grand scheme of things, it was encouraging,” Browning said of the inaugural July Breeding Stock sale, which was a late addition to the sales calendar. “People (sellers) that tried it with an open mind were pretty well rewarded.”

During the breeding stock session, 44 fillies and mares changed hands for $2,012,000, good for an average of $45,727 and a median of $31,000. The RNA rate was 13.7 percent. Full results are available online.

Six horses under Zayat ownership were offered Monday at the Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age Sale, bringing a combined $337,000.

The same group of six horses were valued at a combined $3.5 million in an assessment of owner Ahmed Zayat's equine holdings submitted to creditor MGG Investments in mid-December 2019 as a liquidation plan to pay off a $23-million loan and stave off a lawsuit. MGG ultimately filed suit in late January over allegations that Zayat had defaulted on the loan, and Zayat's equine operations were placed in the hands of a third-party receiver to maximize income for paying off creditors through racetrack earnings and liquidation of the stable.

A lot can happen in seven months to fluctuate the value of a Thoroughbred, and assigning valuation to a horse is far from an exact science, but bringing in 9.62 percent of assessed value through the sale ring is a remarkably wide gap in opinion.

In comparison, six Zayat horses were offered in February at this year's Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale with an estimated value of $1.9 million, and just four of the six finished above reserve for a combined $366,000 – about 19 percent of the estimated total. One mare, offered in-foal to American Pharoah, accounted for $310,000 of that total amount.

Though the chasm between hopeful assessment and market reality for the July offerings was Grand Canyon-sized, the explanation for the far-flung differences goes far beyond the extremely generous valuations.

First, there is the issue of timing. One method of assessing value to a Thoroughbred is through income projection – basing their worth on their opportunities to achieve in the future as much as what they already have achieved.

This is the most apparent among the July offerings in Salow and Zyramid, a pair of colts who were 2-year-olds at the time of the assessment. Both colts are well-bred, meaning a stallion career would be easily attainable with a few graded stakes wins, especially on the Triple Crown trail or in the Triple Crown races themselves. Every 2-year-old in December is a potential lottery ticket with a few fortunate bounces, and their respective seven-figure values reflect that potential.

Fast-forward to July, and many of the doors that were open seven months ago are now closed, as many of the elite 3-year-old races have been run. Even with the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes pushed back into the fall due to COVID-19, the opportunity to become a Triple Crown winner already left the station without either horse even in the gate for the race, and past form suggests a monumental jump in form would be needed to join the elite in their class.

Salow, a 3-year-old son of Distorted Humor, was ultimately the centerpiece of the Zayat slate at the July sale, going for $175,000 after winning on debut in a Gulfstream Park turf race on July 3. Zyramid, on the other hand, has been winless since last year's Saratoga meet and sold for $20,000, tied for the lowest of the group.

Though his value took a hit due to the opportunities that are no longer available to him, Salow was the rare horse in the Zayat dispersal to offer some semblance of blue sky on his resume, with his 2 3/4-length debut win.

This brings about the second point toward the price gap in the dispersal offerings – the horses didn't do much to help themselves in the time between the assessment and the sales.

None of the horses were stars before or after the December assessment, but just 27.6 percent of the six horses' combined $199,545 in career earnings at sale time came after the assessment. This is with two of the horses being unraced at the time of the valuation, and another two having raced just once. Four of the six entered the sale as maidens. Whether an assessor is basing their valuation on comparative value with other horses with similar resumes or by earning potential, the projection is going to take a dive as the spring rolls into summer.

This was most apparent in the case of Super Sol, a 5-year-old Awesome Again horse who was valued at $500,000 in the December assessment. It was a generous figure for a horse with no black type whose only start of 2019 came on Jan. 6, and he just made his 2020 debut during the recent Keeneland summer meet, where he finished last in an optional claiming race.

Working in his favor was a bit of back class. The horse won two races in a row in Southern California during his 3-year-old season, breaking his maiden by four lengths and taking a Los Alamitos Thoroughbred meet optional claimer by three lengths.

Super Sol went on to sell for $30,000.

Zyramid also had one of the longer resumes of the group, winning once and making 88 percent of his lifetime earnings before the December assessment. He was tried in the Grade 2 Saratoga Special Stakes and G3 Iroquois Stakes, but finished well off the board on both occasions. His 3-year-old season started with a distant third in an Oaklawn Park allowance, followed by far-back out-of-the-money tries at Oaklawn and Lone Star Park.

Salow was the only horse in the group to earn five figures post-assessment, making $24,000 for his maiden score. That victory alone made the colt the fourth-highest earner for the Zayat Stables operation in 2020.

Rounding out the group were Mony, Perlman, and Paynted, a trio of 4-year-old lifetime maidens who were valued from $300,000 to $400,000 in December, and sold at a high point of $60,000 (Mony) and a low of $20,000 (Paynted).

Mony, a son of Scat Daddy, has shown the most upside of the group. In addition to being a son of Scat Daddy, whose foals have become increasingly scarce and sought after following the sire's untimely death and the Triple Crown success of son Justify, Mony most recently finished a gaining second in a Gulfstream turf maiden special weight on July 5.

One final factor that's important to note in the review of the dispersal against its original valuation is intent.

Several of the horses pointed for the July sale in the December assessment have since been sold privately, including River Boyne, who found new owners after winning the G2 San Gabriel Stakes in January. He was valued at $750,000 in the assessment, at which point, River Boyne had never won a graded stakes race.

There is a strong likelihood that the horses that were pointed toward the July sale and made it all the way to the ring were ones where attempts to move on from them privately were unsuccessful. In that case, the open market becomes the most efficient way to turn the horses into cash, even if it's for pennies on the dollar from where they were appraised.

Conducted as an open sale for the first time, the sale was modified to serve an industry that has been balancing limited racing and sales opportunities since March. All horses offered were on the sales grounds, and buyers had the option to bid in-person, on the phone, or via the new online auction tool.

Graded stakes-placed juvenile County Final topped the sale when sold for $475,000 to West Point Thoroughbreds, L.E.B., agent.

The gray or roan colt by Preakness Stakes winner Oxbow was consigned as Hip 166 by John Ennis Training, agent. The sale-topper broke his maiden on debut going 5 1/2 furlongs on the Churchill Downs turf on June 5, wiring a field of straight maidens to win by four lengths. He followed up that effort with a second-place finish in the Grade 3 Bashford Manor Stakes on June 27, this time going six furlongs on the Churchill Downs main track.

County Final earned $65,000 in his first two starts for owner-train John Ennis and owners Hayden Noriega, and 47 Roses LLC. The colt is a half-brother to two other winners out of the multiple stakes winning Tapit mare Tapajo, from the immediate family of Grade 1 winner Currency Swap.

Per Capita, a winning 4-year-old colt by Tapit, sold for $325,000 to Red Oak Stable, agent for Rick Sacco, to become the sale's second-most expensive offering.

Offered as Hip 85 by Gainesway, agent, Per Capita was a winner last out, breaking his maiden going a mile on the dirt at Churchill Downs on May 24. The colt won once in four starts for owners Peter M. Brant and Gainesway Stable and trainer Chad Brown, earning $65,150.

Per Capita is out of the graded stakes winning Orientate mare Successful Outlook, making him a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Sweet Lulu and a full brother to Grade 2 winner Anchor Down and Grade 3 winner Iron Fist.

The session's top filly came in the form of recent G3 Indiana Oaks runner-up Impeccable Style, who was purchased for $275,000 by Bradley Thoroughbreds, agent.

The 3-year-old winning daughter of Uncle Mo was offered as Hip 53 by Gainesway. The dark bay or brown filly broke her maiden on her second try last year at two at Churchill Downs and was most recently second in the Indiana Oaks on July 8 at Indiana Grand. Impeccable Style has won or placed in four of six career starts to date for Gainesway Stable, Catalyst Stable, Paul McInnis, Patty Slevin, and Magdalena Racing and trainer Kenny McPeek, with earnings of $134,912.

Overall, 81 horses changed hands for a total of $5,072,000. The average was $62,617 and the median was $30,000.

Results are available online.
