Newgrange Among Fasig-Tipton February Digital Entries
Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 240 entries for its February Digital Sale, which may be viewed at digital.fasigtipton.com. Bidding is now open and will close Feb. 25, beginning at 2 p.m. ET. The catalog offers horses of racing age, breeding stock—including mares with foals at foot, 2-year-olds in training, yearlings, a stallion prospect, and a no-guarantee stallion season. "We are heating things up in February with a sizzling catalog," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "We have some serious breeding stock cataloged—including graded stakes performers—as well as offerings from three dispersals, horses of racing age, a million dollar-earning stallion prospect, and a no-guarantee season to Street Sense." Fasig-Tipton will also debut a new type of offering on its digital platform in this sale, a segment of 2-year-olds in training. "We are excited to offer a group of 2-year-olds in training for the first time on Fasig-Tipton Digital, in a new and unique format," continued Aaron. "Two-year-olds will be sold from their training bases in Ocala, Florida; Aiken, South Carolina; and Lexington, Kentucky; and presented with professionally filmed gallop and breeze videos that are untimed." Aaron continued: "All the resources of a traditional 2-year-old sale will be at the buyer's disposal, including conformation photos and walking videos, vet reports, and a full repository. There is quality sire power among the entries, and buyers may schedule appointments to inspect the horses in-person through our platform." Sires represented by 2-year-olds in training include Constitution, Munnings, Not This Time, and Yaupon. Two-year-olds in training are all grouped together in the catalog as hips 41-57. Other offerings of interest in the catalog: No-guarantee season to Street Sense (Hip 38), with a portion of the season's sale proceeds donated to Stable Recovery Dispersal of Swifty Farms, offering horses of racing age, breeding stock, and yearlings, all of which are eligible for the lucrative Indiana-bred program Breeding stock from the dispersal of Red Oak Stable Stallion prospect Newgrange (Hip 9), a multiple graded stakes winner and millionaire son of Violence
