CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The major mixed auction kicks off a big couple of weeks starting with the Sunday's Fasig-Tipton November Sale, and the Paulick Report has the reading material you need for the day in the PR Special.

This issue – featuring exclusive content not yet seen on the website – sees bloodstock editor Joe Nevills examining the recently released Jockey Club Report of Mares Bred to see which stallions made the biggest year-to-year jumps in the number of mares they covered in 2020.

The Stallion Spotlight shines on Shadwell Farm's Qurbaan, a multiple Grade 2-winning son of Speightstown who completed his first season at stud in 2020. In this issue's installment of INQUIRY, we ask folks on the sales grounds about their favorite music to listen to on the road, and get a wide range of results.

Dr. Charlie Scoggin of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital discusses the cap on stud book size for colts born in 2020 or later from his professional perspective in Ask Your Veterinarian. Then, Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance explains how your equine insurance plan interacts with equine loans in Ask Your Insurer. Finally, Nevills takes a dive through the Fasig-Tipton November catalog to focus on the rookie stallions in First Crop Sire Watch.

Flawless, Dam Of Breeders’ Cup Classic Winner Authentic, Supplemented Into Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Flawless, the dam of Breeders' Cup Classic winner and Kentucky Derby winner Authentic, has been supplemented to Sunday's Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Cataloged as Hip 288, she will be consigned by Bridie Harrison, agent for Peter E. Blum Thoroughbreds.

A daughter of Mr. Greeley, Flawless is in foal to Into Mischief on a Feb. 18 cover carrying a full sibling to Authentic.

Authentic has captured six of eight career starts to date at two and three, including three Grade 1 wins in 2020 — the Haskell Stakes, the Kentucky Derby, and Saturday's Breeders' Cup Classic over one of the deepest fields in the history of the race. He went gate-to-wire to defeat Grade 1 winners Improbable, Global Campaign, Maximum Security, Tiz the Law, Tom's d'Etat, and Higher Power by 2 1/4 lengths in a track record time of 1:59.19 for the mile-and-a-quarter. He is a five-time graded stakes winner of $6,191,200.

Flawless hails from a deep female family of top producers, including Holiday Runner, the dam or granddam of Grade 1 winners Seventh Street, Reynaldothewizard, and American Gal.

“Flawless is an exciting late addition to our November Sale,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “Authentic is just the fourth horse ever to win the Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic in the same year, and she is carrying his full sibling. To be able to add a mare of Flawless's qualifications to our sale on the eve of the auction is unprecedented and provides buyers one of the more unique buying opportunities in recent memory.”

The Fasig-Tipton November Sale will be conducted Nov. 8 beginning at 2 p.m. in Lexington, Ky. Online bidding and phone bidding are available.

PR Special Breeders’ Cup Edition: Freshman Sire Race Reaches Its Lightning Round

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The Breeders' Cup is a celebration of the Thoroughbred industry's achievements on the racetrack, and on farms around the world, and the Paulick Report puts the spotlight on both in a unique Breeders' Cup edition of the PR Special.

In this edition, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills counts down the horses by freshman sires in each of Friday's five Breeders' Cup races for 2-year-olds. A win by one of their runners can turn the 2020 freshman sire race upside down, or put a leader out of reach for the rest of the year.

Nevills then examines all 14 championship races and identifies the most expensive auction graduate in each field. In INQUIRY, we have the members of the sales grounds go back to school, asking them what the name of their class on horse racing would be, if they taught one.

This issue's Ask Your Insurer sees Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance discuss coverage for in-utero foals purchased at auction. Then, Erin O'Keefe of BTE Stables goes over what to look for in a weanling-to-yearling pinhook prospect, especially on a budget. Finally, we see which stallions are represented by the most entries in the championship races this weekend in Breeders' Cup Sire Watch.
