Tuscan Sky Tops Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale
The Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale closed Jan. 21 with 107 horses selling for $3,003,900. The sale averaged $28,073, with a median of $7,500 and a clearance rate of 79%. The catalog offered horses of racing age, racing/broodmare prospects, broodmares, and short yearlings. Tuscan Sky (Hip 7), dominant winner of last year's Pegasus Stakes, sold for $450,000 to West Bloodstock to top the sale. The 4-year-old colt by Vino Rosso was offered as a horse of racing age by ELiTE, agent. A multiple stakes performer, Tuscan Sky is a half brother to grade 2-winning millionaire and sire Private Creed, out of the stakes-winning Sky Mesa mare South Andros. "This sale was a great way to start the year," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "There were more scratches than I would have liked, but that is the nature of horse sales. The top five prices all represented different segments of the market, which shows an incredibly deep buying bench. We are continuing to see growth from buyers that have never purchased from Fasig-Tipton. I'm very encouraged for the rest of 2025." Top hips sold also included: Sav (Hip 26), a broodmare in foal to the late Uncle Mo, sold for $150,000 to Town and Country and Pollock Farms. The graded stakes-placed stakes winner was consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent. Belle's Blue Bell (Hip 11), a stakes-winning broodmare prospect, sold for $130,000 to CEM Bloodstock. The 4-year-old daughter of Girvin was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent. Gold Lightning (Hip 18), a multiple stakes-performing racing/broodmare prospect, sold for $125,000 to Machmer Hall. The 4-year-old daughter of Bolt d'Oro was consigned by Evergreen Equine, agent. Full results are available online.
