Monomoy Girl, Midnight Bisou, Uni To Be Offered At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Elite Sales will offer three champion fillies and mares at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale on Nov. 8.

Monomoy Girl, owned by Monomoy Stables, Michael Dubb, The Elkstone Group and Bethlehem Stables, was 2018's champion 3-year-old filly and the 2018 Breeders' Cup Distaff winner. She is three-for-three in 2020 and added her most recent Grade 1 win in Friday's La Troienne at Churchill. The six-time Grade 1 winner is now set to target the Breeders' Cup Distaff. She has crossed the finish line first in 13 of 14 lifetime starts.

The 2019 champion older mare Midnight Bisou is owned by Bloom Racing Stable, Madaket Stables and Allen Racing. A five-time Grade 1 winner, Midnight Bisou was second in this year's $20-million Saudi Cup to Maximum Security. She has earned over $7.4 million while never being off the board in 22 lifetime starts. Her 13 graded stakes victories equal four-time champion Beholder, and are more than Songbird (12), Ashado (11), Royal Delta (10), and Rachel Alexandra (9). She will run next in the G1 Spinster before a scheduled date in the Breeders' Cup.

Uni (GB), last year's Breeders' Cup Mile winner and champion female turf horse, completes the trio for owners Michael Dubb, Head of Plains Partners, Robert LaPenta and Bethlehem Stables. A three-time Grade 1 winner, Uni finished 2019 on a tear, setting a Keeneland course record when posting a dominant win in the G1 First Lady before her Breeders' Cup Mile triumph at Santa Anita Park. She is on target for a repeat in the G1 First Lady.

“This is a-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to offer three champions in the prime of their careers,” said Elite Sales' Bradley Weisbord. “They aren't one-hit wonders; they have been leaders in their divisions since they hit the racetrack. With these unprecedented times we look forward to speaking with all interested parties as these mares will appeal to anyone around the World looking to target the highest end of the thoroughbred industry.”

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The major yearling season kicks off today at the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase Sale, and the Paulick Report has the reading material you need in the PR Special.

If a Fasig-Tipton Kentucky sale in September feels like déjà vu, one needs to look back just three years to the Fasig-Tipton Turf Showcase for the last time it happened. Bloodstock editor Joe Nevills took a horse-by-horse look back at the unique sale's graduates, and where they stand today in the middle of their 4-year-old seasons. For a sale relatively small in population, the Turf Showcase's reach has proven to be global.

In today's Stallion Spotlight, Shadwell Farm's Kent Barnes discusses Mohaymen, a son of Tapit whose first foals are yearlings of 2020 and hitting the September sales for the first time this week. Dr. Brad Tanner of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital goes over the importance of having a veterinarian perform dental work on your horse in Ask Your Veterinarian, then we look at the emerging stallions in the Selected Yearlings Showcase in Second & Third Crop Sire Watch.

Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearling Showcase Kicks Off Wednesday

With the Fasig-Tipton July Yearling Sale, Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale and New York-Bred Yearling Sale all canceled, the sale’s company offers a combination of all three auctions Sept. 9-10 at Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Kentucky, in the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase.

“It was a situation where we had to develop alternatives as it became apparent that the July Sale could not be conducted,” Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning said. “At about the same time, it also became apparent it would be very, very difficult, if not impossible, to have a traditional sale in Saratoga. We believe this format is the best alternative and we have been positively received by consignors, who have supported us with really good horses. 2020 has been a year of adaptation and a year of making the best of the cards you are dealt. I think we have done a good job of that, but we fell good about the quality of horses and the reception we have gotten from buyers so far as well.”

In addition to the revised format, sale attendees will also encounter a series of new protocols at Fasig-Tipton in-keeping with the recommended COVID-19 guidelines. Attendance at the sale will be limited and all interested parties must apply for a credential on the Virtual Badge smart phone app.

“There will be reduced capacity in the pavilion and temperature screening to gain access to the grounds,” said Browning. “Access will be limited and everyone has to apply for the virtual badge to gain access. Everyone, but the buyers, have to have a negative COVID-19 test. We have to wipe down the common area spaces, wear face shields in the sales office, modify food service. We have also put up two large tents to create more outdoor spaces to make people feel more comfortable. We have internet bidding and increased phone bidding.”

The Selected Yearlings Showcase catalogue is comprised of 662 yearlings, the first 178 of which are New York-breds. Selling begins at 10 a.m. Sept. 9 with hips 1-330 and continues Sept. 10 with hips 331-662.

Stallions represented in the catalogue include American Pharoah, Candy Ride (Arg), Constitution, Curlin, the late Empire Maker, Into Mischief, Malibu Moon, Medaglia d’Oro, Nyquist, Quality Road and Uncle Mo. There will also be yearlings on offer from the first crop of several exciting young stallions, such as the late Arrogate, Classic Empire, Connect, Cupid, Gun Runner, Lord Nelson, Mastery, Mohaymen and Practical Joke.
