Bidding opened Aug. 21 for the Fasig-Tipton August Digital Sale, which may be viewed online at digital.fasigtipton.com. Bidding for the 225 cataloged entries will close Aug. 26, beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
The catalog offers horses of racing age, breeding stock (including mares with foals at foot), weanlings, yearlings, and a stallion prospect. A substantial portion of the catalog is comprised of racing stock, including 85 horses of racing age and 2-year-old racing prospects. These include recent stakes-winning, stakes-performing, and winning 2-year-olds.
"We have a fantastic catalog for our August Digital Sale," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "The horses of racing age on offer represent a strong group of in-form runners, eligible for a wide range of conditions. The sale also includes an exciting selection of 2-year-olds—highlighted by a recent Saratoga stakes winner."
"There is high-class breeding stock on offer as well—'November'-type quality that is available right now in August," Aaron noted.
