Fasig-Tipton Consolidates Saratoga Fall, Midlantic December Mixed Sales For 2020

Due to the current travel restrictions put in place by the state of New York to combat the spread of COVID-19, Fasig-Tipton will not conduct the Saratoga Fall Sale as originally scheduled on Oct. 20 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Instead, for this year, Fasig-Tipton will combine the auction with its Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age sale, which will now be held over two days on Dec. 7 and 8.

Governor Andrew Cuomo's New York Travel Advisory requires any individuals that travel to New York – from any of the states currently listed – to complete a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon arrival in the state. There are currently 35 states/territories listed under this travel advisory, including horse racing regions Kentucky, Florida, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, California, and Texas.

“The current travel advisory requirements make it virtually impossible for many buyers from out of state to attend an auction in Saratoga,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “We do not know what the duration or scope of the New York Travel Advisory will be in October. Combining our Saratoga Fall and Midlantic December sales into a two-day auction in Maryland is the prudent and logical course of action at this point in time.”

The Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age sale will be conducted on Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 7-8, at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, Md. Entries for the main catalog will close on Sept. 18. The entry deadline for the Horses of Racing Age Supplement is Nov. 13.

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.

Uncle Mo Colt Tops Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Opener At $1.1 Million

The Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale saw healthy returns during its opening session on Monday, including a seven-figure sale to the connections of last year's record-setting sale topper.

While the top colt was sired by a record-breaking champion freshman sire in Uncle Mo, the session's next-highest price went to a son of current first-crop sire Not This Time.

Lauren Carlisle, agent went to $650,000 to secure Hip 213, a colt by the speedy G3 Iroquois Stakes winner and first foal out of the winning Indian Charlie mare Sanctissima. The chestnut colt was consigned by Classic Bloodstock LLC, agent, and worked an eighth in :10 1/5 seconds during the under tack show. Hip 213 was bred in Maryland.

Carlisle also purchased the session's top filly, a daughter of 2019 leading sire into Mischief, for $500,000 earlier in the day. Consigned as Hip 4 by Hoby and Layna Kight, agent, the bay filly is out of the graded stakes placed Dixie Chatter mare Global Hottie, from the immediate family of Horse of the Year Alysheba. The Kentucky-bred filly worked a quarter in :21 3/5 seconds during the under tack show.

Overall, 152 horses sold for $12,632,500, good for an average of $83,109 and a median of $40,000. The RNA rate was 20 percent.
