After Sunday's card wrapped up at Saratoga Race Course, the attention moved down East Avenue to the Humphrey S. Finney Pavillion, where the opening session of the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale took place, led by a $495,000 filly by Uncle Mo.
Sunday's opening session, which comprised about a third of the overall catalog, saw 62 horses change hands for revenues of $6,497,500. The average sale price finished at $104,798, the median was $80,000, and the buyback rate closed at 24 percent.
Thomas Gallo held on to Sunday's session-topper on behalf of his Dream Maker Racing for $495,000.
The bay filly, offered as Hip 341, is out of the winning Distorted Humor mare Averymerrymoment, whose six foals to race are all winners, including stakes-placed Satisfy. She hails from the family of Grade 1 winner Rutherienne. Gallo consigned the filly, as agent.
The filly was bred in New York by the partnership of Mia Gallo, Mary Kopley, Michael Newton, and Elizabeth Weese, and the purchase saw the Gallos buy out their partners on the horse to start her racing career under the Dream Maker Racing banner.
The Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale continues Monday, beginning at noon, eastern.
