Fasig-Tipton’s July Horses of Racing Age Catalogue Online

Nearly 200 horses have been catalogued for the Fasig-Tipton July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale, although that number will likely grow as the sales company continues to approve entries until sale time. The sale will be held Monday, July 10 at Newtown Paddocks in Lexington and will get underway at 2 p.m., one day prior to The July Sale, the first major yearling sale of the year.

Entries are available on Fasig-Tipton's enhanced online catalogue, which features pedigrees, race replays, statistical links, and Ragozin “sheet” numbers, as well as both Daily Racing Form and Thoroughmanager past performances. The catalogue will also be available via the equineline sales catalogue app, while print catalogues will be available on the sales grounds in the week leading up to the sale.

The July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale was established in 2013 and graduates have earned more than $75 million. Among the sale's graduates to shine this year are GI Pegasus Turf Invitational S. winner Atone (Into Mischief), GI Santa Anita H. winner Stilleto Boy (Shackleford), and G1 King Faisal Cup winner Scotland Yard (Quality Road).

NYRA To Increase Purses For NY-Breds At Saratoga

Registered New York-bred horses competing in open company at the upcoming summer meet at Saratoga Race Course will receive a new series of purse increases the New York Racing Association, Inc. announced Sunday.

“NYRA is committed to supporting and enhancing the New York-bred program now and in the future,” said Frank Gabriel, NYRA SVP of Racing Operations. “These purse increases reflect the sustained growth of the New York-bred marketplace while also rewarding owners already invested in the program.”

The purse for registered New York-breds running in select open-company races will be 30 percent higher than the purse offered for non-New York-breds. Additionally, New York State Breeding Fund Owner Awards (NYSBFOA) and breeder awards will be paid on top of the 30 percent additional purse for registered New York-breds.

“The opportunity for registered New York-breds to compete for elevated purses in select open company conditions during the Saratoga meet, along with increases in breeder and open company awards provided by the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund reflect the commitment by New York's respective thoroughbred racing stakeholders in continuing to elevate the New York-bred program,” said Najja Thompson, New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. (NYTB) Executive Director. “We are confident much of the money earned from these purse increases will be reinvested in New York-breds, starting with the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred Select Yearlings Sale in August at Saratoga.”

2nd-ELP, $120K, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:14 p.m.
Two high-priced maidens will kick off their careers at Ellis Park Thursday. BC Stables paid $1.35 million for DAILY GRIND (Medaglia d'Oro) at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling sale. Trained by D. Wayne Lukas, the bay colt is out of SW Walk Close (Tapit), who also produced his full-brother Anneau d'Or, second-place finisher in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

Lambo (Uncle Mo), trained by Steve Asmussen, brought $950,000 from the Heiligbrodts and Jackpot Farm at OBS March after posting a :10 flat move during the under-tack show. He previously brought $360,000 as a KEENOV weanling and RNA'd for $575,000 as a FTSAUG yearling. His unraced dam Sunshiny Day (Bernardini) is out of champion 2-year-old filly & MGISW Storm Song (Summer Squall), who produced Another Storm (Gone West), dam of MG1SW Order Of St George (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

Longshot Tranche Upsets Fasig-Tipton Futurity

Chilly on the board at 20-1, Tranche missed the memo, and never looked back from the lead to upset the Fasig-Tipton Futurity in his third start.

Seventh on debut in April at Keeneland and then third beneath the Twin Spires May 4, he broke like a shot and quickly cleared his competition to claim his spot on the inside. Showing the way as :22.15 and :45.36 splits sailed by, he cut the corner coming into the homeward trail and continued to extend his lead under right-hand urging. It would be 7 1/4 lengths back to Mirahmadi who got up in time to grab second from Refocus.

“To be honest, I wasn't really (confident going into this race), in this business when you think you're going to win, it can sometimes go the other way,” said Luis Mendez, who won the 2021 Fasig Tipton Futurity with Big City Lights…”[Owner] Bill Peeples, I mean everybody on the team loved him, but I was not convinced. That beautiful field of horses was against him, so I was a little worried.”

The second of Theory of Change's offspring to get his picture taken, Tranche is her first black-type winner. He has a yearling half-brother by Street Sense and the mare came up barren from her 2023 cover to Maxfield. This is the female family of GSP America America (Mister Baileys {GB}), who is responsible for MGSP Bluegrass Princess (Dynaformer) and MSW Partisan Politics (More Than Ready) through her branch of the family. GISP My Gal Betty (Point of Entry) also makes an appearance as well as GSW So Long George (Arch). Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
