Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 284 entries for The Saratoga Fall Sale, the company's New York breeding stock sale, to be held Oct. 18 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The sale will be held in the Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion and begin at 10:00 a.m. ET.
"After being forced to cancel last year's sale due to the pandemic, Saratoga Fall returns with a larger catalog than 2019," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. "We will begin the sale with nearly 90 broodmares and racing/broodmare prospects—an increase in quality and quantity for that segment of the sale. We will then transition into a strong group of nearly 200 weanlings—the vast majority of which were foaled in New York."
The catalog may now be viewed online and will also be available via the equineline sales catalog app. Print catalogs will be available the week of Sept. 20.
In 2019 the auction produced a record gross of $3,384,700. From 271 cataloged, Fasig-Tipton reported 134 horses sold for an average of $25,259 and a $15,000 median, down from the record average of $29,402 and record median of $20,000 in 2018. The top price of the sale was $160,000 paid by Steve Weston for Hip 238, a Practical Joke half brother to multiple stakes winner and multiple grade 3-placed Pain and Misery. He was consigned by RFHF Bloodstock, agent.
