The catalogue, which may now be viewed at digital.fasigtipton.com, consists of horses of racing age, racing and/or broodmare prospects, in-foal mares, and a stallion share in European champion Almanzor (Fr).

“We could not be more pleased with the strength of this catalogue,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton Director of Digital Sales. “Our goal with this first digital auction was to put together a catalogue of high-quality entries and, with the support of our consignors, we have achieved that. Prospective buyers will find something of interest on every page, with horses of racing age in top current form, pedigreed and stakes credentialed broodmare prospects, and mares in-foal on exciting covers.

“Additionally, we are pleased to offer a share in promising young sire Almanzor (Fr), who is off to a fantastic start at stud in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres,” added Aaron. “It is a rare offering that adds another level of international interest and intrigue to our inaugural digital sale.”

March Digital Selected Sale offerings include:

RISKY ANALYSIS (Hip 2): Broodmare prospect by Frued was a six-figure earner on the track and is a half-sister to recent GII Rebel S. winner Un Ojo.

“There's a lot of people that have expressed the need for this kind of market,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton Director of Digital Sales. “They've been very supportive of our first sale. To them, it's a segment of the market that needs to be filled.”

The catalogue of approximately 15-20 head will be revealed at digital.fasigtipton.com Thursday and bidding will open at that time. The group will include horses of racing age, broodmares, racing/broodmare prospects and a stallion share. The digital website will feature photos, videos, repository, health information, pedigrees, race replays, various past performances and speed figures. Potential buyers can schedule a physical inspection on that platform as well.

“The stallion share is for a young, up-and-coming stallion,” Aaron said. “We have multiple stakes horses in this book, half siblings to Grade I winners, daughters of Grade I winners, horses with conditions left to race and graded-stakes caliber racehorses. It's a very strong group of horses.”

He concluded, “The support that we've gotten from consignors horse wise is very good. It's just a real quality group of horses. I think it's gonna grow eventually with volume, but for right now, we're just focused on quality to try to establish the marketplace.”
