Fasig-Tipton Puts Santa Anita 2-Year-Old Sale On Hiatus For 2022

Logistical issues and a limited supply of horses has led Fasig-Tipton to put its Santa Anita 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale on hiatus for 2022, BloodHorse reports.

The auction was initially scheduled to be held in June at Santa Anita Park.

Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning told BloodHorse that beyond lacking the equine numbers to make the catalog work, not having dedicated stalls at Santa Anita to house sale horses created some issues. Last year, some trainers had to be displaced from their barns to make room for the sale horses.

The auction company's California Fall Yearlings Sale is still scheduled for Sept. 27 at Fairplex in Pomona, Calif.

Fasig-Tipton took over the mantle as California's primary auction company for 2-year-olds in training sales in 2019, following the closure of Barretts Equine Sales the prior year.

Due to the ice storm currently forecasted for Lexington, Ky., Fasig-Tipton officials are pushing back the start date of next week's Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale to Tuesday, Feb. 8.

The two-day auction was originally scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 7 and 8, but will now be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 8 and 9.

“Our area is currently under an ice storm warning from tomorrow morning through Friday morning, and in the interests of safety we have decided to push the sale back by one day,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “This will ensure that horses and sale participants will have ample time to arrive on the sales grounds and begin inspections when conditions are safe to do so.”
