CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The 2020 yearling auction season comes to a close with the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearlings Sale, and the Paulick Report has the reading material you need in the sale preview edition of the PR Special.

In this edition, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills examines the elite fraternity of sires who had a North American classic winner in their first crop. This year's Triple Crown saw the club add two new members in Constitution, sire of Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law, and Daredevil, sire of Preakness Stakes winner Swiss Skydiver.

The Stallion Spotlight turns on Fast Anna, with Tom Hamm of Three Chimneys describing what makes the son of Medaglia d'Oro appealing for potential breeders. Then, Nevills polls the members of the sales grounds about their favorite sports teams in this issue's edition of INQUIRY.

Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance discusses protections important for consignors on the sales grounds in the latest edition of Ask Your Insurer. Finally, we take a look at the rookie stallions represented in the October sale catalog in First-Crop Sire Watch.

INQUIRY: What Is The Greatest Race You’ve Seen In Person?

A horse race can be one of the best live sports experiences out there, and witnessing a truly great one can be the kind of thing that sticks with a person for a lifetime.

That's the thought on the minds of folks in this edition of INQUIRY, where we ask members of the bloodstock industry to reminisce on the “tell your grandchildren” moments they've been fortunate enough to see by posing the question, “What is the greatest race you've seen in person?

Seth Gregory – Seth Gregory Bloodstock

“That one's easy. The 1996 Dubai World Cup. I was fortunate enough to go be Cigar's groom for that race. I was Bill Mott's foreman at the time, and his groom couldn't go, so I went as his groom. It was a huge blast.”

Mike Recio – South Point Sales

“John Henry's Arlington Million. I became a John Henry fan for the rest of my life. He came from humble beginnings, was a gelding and tried every time, and it was a special story.”

Jimbo Gladwell – Top Line Sales

“We won the South Florida Derby at Hialeah Park a few years ago with a Quarter Horse we bred, and that was pretty exciting when you own them and have raised them. Her name was Ima Gator Fan. Me and some buddies chartered a little plane and flew down from Gainesville, and it was like living like rockstars.”

Chris Bernhard – Hidden Lake Farm

“I would have to say the Travers that Arrogate won. I'm just in awe of the horse. We got a nice mare to Arrogate, and you just watched him show up, shipping all over the country, and it was cool to be in his presence.”

Joe McMahon – McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds

“Jaipur and Ridan in Saratoga in the 1962 Travers was a real classic. Alydar and Affirmed was really good at Saratoga (1978 Travers). They were just outstanding matches, those four.”

Freddie Seitz – Brookdale Farm

“It has to be the 2012 Kentucky Derby, I'll Have Another. It was easily the greatest racing day I've ever been to.”

PR Special Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale: Boyd Browning On The Changing Auction Calendar

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

Whether you're on the sales grounds or following along from home or the farm, the Paulick Report has reading material for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale with a jam-packed online-exclusive edition of the PR Special.

In this issue, Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning chats with bloodstock editor Joe Nevills about navigating a hectic spring of cancelling and rescheduling sales through the COVID-19 pandemic, how that affected the upcoming Midlantic sale, and how it guides his expectations for the remainder of the juvenile auction season and beyond in 2020.

The Stallion Spotlight focuses on champion Will Take Charge, with Tom Hamm of Three Chimneys discussing what crosses work best with the young sire, and what sets him apart in a talented class vying to be the last great son of Unbridled's Song at stud.

In Ask Your Veterinarian, Dr. Brad Tanner of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital tackles the subject of “parrot mouth” in horses, and the ways to correct and manage it.

Nevills takes a walk around the barns to ask industry members about their favorite races they've seen in person in the latest edition of INQUIRY, and then he speaks to bloodstock agent Chad Schumer about how getting stuck with future Breeders' Cup runner Worldly taught him that everything happens for a reason in Lesson Horses. We then dive through the catalog to see who is on offer from the rookie class at the Midlantic sale in First-Crop Sire Watch.

As a small token of our gratitude, we'll be offering one PR Special reader a free Paulick Report baseball cap. Information to sign up for the drawing can be found in the issue.
