“We just conducted a successful Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale this past week in Maryland,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “Now, we are excited to welcome buyers, consignors, and horses back to Fasig-Tipton Kentucky.”

“This year, the July Horses of Racing Age Sale takes on added importance. As racing resumes, it is of the utmost importance that buyers and sellers have this established venue to conduct business,” Browning added.

Similar to the recently concluded Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, health and safety protocols will be in place at the July Horses of Racing Age Sale. Fasig-Tipton's online bidding and phone bidding services will once again be available to prospective buyers.

Hooper Stakes; Marzo, winner of 2019 G3 Sycamore Stakes; and War Story, winner of the 2019 G3 Harlan's Holiday Stakes and G3 Monmouth Cup Stakes.

“This sale has a tremendous track record with its sale graduates,” continued Browning. “This year's catalog features a number of quality entries that will fit a variety of racing programs from coast-to-coast.”

Entries may now be viewed via the sale's user-friendly enhanced online catalog, which features pedigrees, race replays, statistical links, Ragozin “sheet” numbers, and continuously updated Daily Racing Form and Thoroughmanager past performances.

Strong Returns, Seven-Figure Sale Topper For Fifth Consecutive Year at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale

The Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale conducted another strong session on Tuesday to close the 2020 edition of the sale. For the fifth consecutive year, a seven-figure juvenile topped the Timonium, Md., sale.

The sale-topper came during Monday's session, when Hip 118, a colt by record-breaking champion freshman sire Uncle Mo sold for $1.1 million to Donato Lanni, agent for Michael Lund Petersen. The dark bay or brown colt was consigned by Pike Racing, agent. Hip 118 worked an eighth in :10-flat during last week's under tack show. The Virginia-bred 2-year-old is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Azar out of a winning Mineshaft half-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Woodlander.

A colt by Candy Ride topped the sale's Tuesday session when sold for $875,000 to Gary Young, agent. Offered as Hip 443 by Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables, the bay colt worked an eighth in :10 1/5 seconds during the under tack show. The session-topper is out of the winning Giant's Causeway mare Causara, a daughter of graded stakes winner Lady Belsara.

The sale's top-priced filly sold early during the first session, when a daughter of leading sire Into Mischief sold to Lauren Carlisle, agent for $500,000. Offered as Hip 4 by Hoby and Layna Kight, the bay filly worked a quarter in :21 3/5 seconds during the under tack show. The top filly is out of the graded stakes placed Dixie Chatter mare Global Hottie, from the immediate family of Horse of the Year Alysheba.

Hip 451, a daughter of last year's leading first-crop sire American Pharoah, was the highest-priced filly of Tuesday's session. The dark bay or brown filly was purchased for $325,000 by Speedway Stable from the consignment of Kirkwood Stables, agent for Midway Gallop LLC (video). The New York-bred filly worked a quarter in :22-flat during last week's under tack show. Hip 451 is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner and stakes producer Awesome Humor and to Surf Club, dam of Grade 1 winner Emcee and Baffled, who produced current leading second-crop sire Constitution.

Overall, 303 horses sold for a total of $23,572,500, good for an average of $77,797 and a median of $40,000. The sale marked the first time online bidding was available at a Fasig-Tipton auction; more than 50 horses received online bids, and approximately 15 were sold online.
