Lovacres Ranch Reduction Part of Fasig-Tipton August Digital Sale

Fasig-Tipton's upcoming August Digital Selected Sale will include a partial reduction of Terry Lovingier's Lovacres Ranch. The Lovacres offerings consist of 31 broodmares or broodmare prospects, and seven horses of racing age. The group includes the 4-year-old broodmare prospect Fi Fi Pharoah (American Pharoah), who won last year's Melair S., and the 2-year-old filly E Z Pharis (American Pharoah), who was third in the June 18 Fasig-Tipton Debutante S. following a debut victory at Santa Anita Apr. 30.

Lovingier, who has bred or owned in partnership nine California-bred Champions, campaigned both last year's champion California-bred 2-year-old male Finneus (Stay Thirsty) and 2-year-old female At the Spa (Outwork), in partnership.

Lovacres currently stands seven stallions, including Stay Thirsty, California's leading sire of 2018, 2019, and 2021. Also the state's current leading sire in 2022, Stay Thirsty is represented as covering sire of several mares being offered as part of the Lovacres reduction.

“I love horse racing,” said Lovingier. “I'm not going anywhere, but with the success of Stay Thirsty, I just need to make room for more outside mares at the farm. This reduction is necessary to expand boarding and breeding opportunities for clients of Lovacres.”

Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales, added, “The Lovacres racing and breeding program has raised and campaigned many of the top horses in the California-bred program. This partial reduction gives buyers access to a program with a tremendous track record of success.”

Fasig-Tipton's August Digital Selected Sale opens for bidding Thursday and closes next Tuesday. In addition to the Lovacres offerings, there are currently an additional 27 entries of breeding stock and horses of racing age that will be offered in the catalogue.

The full catalogue for the August Digital Selected Sale may be viewed this Thursday at digital.fasigtipton.com when bidding opens at noon ET.
