Freshman Sire Showcase Returns To Fasig-Tipton July Sale

Fasig-Tipton will reintroduce the “Freshman Sire Showcase” as part of the company's 2021 July Selected Yearlings Sale, which will be held on July 13 and 14 at the company's headquarters in Lexington, Ky.

Fasig-Tipton will devote a section of the catalog exclusively to yearlings by stallions with their first crop of yearlings in 2021. Last held in 2010, the new sire showcase was a highly successful element of the July Sale for many years.

“We believe that 2021 is the ideal time to bring back the Freshman Sire Showcase,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “The market has cycled back to a point where progeny of first-crop sires are in high demand once again, and this year's class of freshman sires is an exciting group from top to bottom.

“For many years, sellers had great success showcasing individuals by first-crop yearling sires in July when we offered a new sire showcase,” continued Browning. “This concept enables sellers to separate and showcase quality individuals by freshman sires at the first yearling sale of the year, and also provides opportunities for stud farms to market and promote their young stallions.”

The July Selected Yearlings Sale will once again be preceded by the July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale on July 12. First held in 2013, the popular H.O.R.A. sale has benefitted the yearling sale, attracting a higher number of end-users and trainers to the sales grounds.

Nominations are now open for Fasig-Tipton's three summer selected yearling sales: the July Sale, the 100th Saratoga Sale, and the New York-bred Yearlings Sale. Prospective sellers can nominate and learn more at selectedyearlings.fasigtipton.com.

Fasig-Tipton H.O.R.A. Grad Could be on Way to Saudi Cup

Scars Are Cool (Malibu Moon), a $175,000 purchase at Fasig-Tipton’s 2020 July Horses of Racing Age Sale, won a US$27,000 open race for imported horses Friday at King Abdullaziz Racecourse in Riyadh, which moved him one step closer to a possible start in the $20-million Saudi Cup.

It was the second start in Saudi Arabia for the 5-year-old, who was campaigned by Sagamore Farm when racing in the U.S. He was unplaced in a Dec. 26 race before winning Friday’s 1,600-meter event by three-quarters of a length. He broke his maiden in 2019 at Saratoga and came back to run in the GI Travers S. in his next start. He would go on to win allowance races at Churchill Downs and Gulfstream.

According to Tom Ryan, the director of strategy and international racing for the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, whether or not Scars Are Cool qualifies for the Saudi Cup may depend on what rating he gets from the local handicapper. The ratings for last week’s races will be released mid-week. He also has the option of trying to qualify for the race in a Jan. 30 prep, the G1 The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.

Lexington-based bloodstock agent Tom Clark signed the ticket at the Fasig-Tipton sale for Saudi-based breeder Ahmad Alabdullatif, an advisor to several Saudi racing operations. His new owner is Mohammed Omar I. Alsakran.

Clark said that the horse’s main selling point was his soundness.

“He was perfectly sound when we bought him,” he said. “That’s what drew us to him. He didn’t have a pimple on him. From the X-rays, you expect to see some wear and tear when they’ve raced for a little while, but there was no wear and tear on him at all.”

Clark said that the Saudis have been shopping at sales in Europe when looking for horses to compete in their major races.

“Traditionally, they have bought at Tattersalls in Newmarket and they have done well with those horses,” he said. “But they race on dirt primarily, so it’s not surprising that they bought one here. Why wouldn’t they want dirt horses?”
