Fasig Midlantic Mixed Sale Tuesday

Fasig-Tipton's annual Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age Sale will take place Tuesday in Timonium, MD beginning at 11:00 a.m. A sizable catalog of 401 head has been assembled this year, including 232 broodmares and broodmare prospects, weanlings and yearlings in addition to a sizable horses of racing age supplement.

Last year's topper was $195,000 racing or broodmare prospect Fly On Angel (Palace Malice), winner of the GIII Charles Town Oaks earlier that term. She was purchased by Cypress Creek LLC and consigned by Northview Stallion Station, agent for Joseph Besecker (Reduction of Racing Stock). A Besecker-owned horse of racing age offering also topped the 2019 auction, and the Pennsylvania-based owner's holdings figure to feature prominently in this year's results as well.

A total of 97 horses, mostly racing prospects but also broodmares, weanlings and a yearling, are consigned by Northview on Besecker's behalf.

The 2020 sale, which was consolidated with the Saratoga Fall Sale due to the pandemic, saw a total of 182 horses change hands for gross receipts of $2,345,600 at an average of $12,888 and median of $5,000.

‘Rising Star’ Runs Up the Score in the Gimma

Robert and Lawana Low's Classy Edition (Classic Empire) became the second stakes winner for her freshman sire (by Pioneerof the Nile) with a popular victory in Friday's Joseph. A Gimma S. at Belmont Park.

Favored off a smashing 6 3/4-length debut success at Saratoga Sept. 5 for which she was named a 'TDN Rising Star', the $550,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic breezer was beaten for speed and trailed the field early before being steered to the outside of her rivals and improved into midfield to the turn. Niggled at into the final three furlongs, Classy Edition began to find her best stride four deep at the top of the lane, struck the front at the three-sixteenths pole and was ridden out to score by a wide margin.

“First time she backed up out of the dirt [kickback] a little bit like most first-time starters will do,” explained winning trainer Todd Pletcher. “She settled into it a little better here. He [Irad Ortiz, Jr.] ultimately had no other option but to go out four or five wide. It looked like she finished with good energy.”

The conditioner indicated that the $250,000 Maid of the Mist S. going a one-turn mile is the likely next start for the winner Oct. 30.

A half-sister to the treble stakes-winning Newly Minted (Central Banker) and to MSP New Girl In Town (Boys At Tosconova), Classy Edition has a yearling half-brother by American Pharoah from this same sire line. Newbie was bred to both Laoban and Vekoma this past season. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Fasig-Tipton’s Midlantic Yearlings Catalogue Released

The catalogue is now available online for the 2021 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Fall Yearlings Sale, to be held Oct. 4-5 at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium. A total of 500 yearlings have been entered. The Monday, Oct. 4, session will offer the first 200 hips and will begin at 1 p.m., while the final 300 hips will be offered Tuesday, Oct. 5, starting at 10 a.m.

“We are very encouraged by the strength of this year's catalogue,” said Paget Bennett, Midlantic director of sales. “Sire power has ticked up once again this year, with a healthy mix of leading national sires as well as regional sires. Several of the nation's current leading first-crop 2-year-old sires are especially well represented, which adds additional interest to the catalogue.”

The online catalogue is available at Fasig-Tipton and will also be available via the equineline sales catalogue app. Print catalogues will be available beginning Sept. 3.

“Midlantic Fall is the top-ranked major North American yearling sale by percentage of 2-year-old winners from horses sold–an impressive statistic that should give buyers extra incentive to shop this sale,” continued Bennett.

Phone bidding and online bidding will also be available.
