Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 1,601 entries for its Kentucky October Yearlings Sale, to be held Oct. 20-23 in Lexington. The four continuous sessions, conducted Monday through Thursday, will begin each day at 10 a.m. ET.

"Kentucky October is one of the most important yearling sales in the nation," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. "The quality on offer continues to rise each year, as evidenced by the sire power and strength of pedigree in this year's catalog."

Sires represented by multiple yearlings include Constitution , Candy Ride , Curlin , Flightline , Gun Runner , Justify , Quality Road , Into Mischief , Not This Time , Nyquist , Practical Joke , Tapit , Twirling Candy , and Uncle Mo.

Kentucky October graduates are winning the sport's biggest races, and in high numbers.

"The sale's honor roll of graduates grew in 2024, with Thorpedo Anna named Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old filly, and Soul of an Angel named Eclipse champion female sprinter," Browning noted. "Their wins in the Breeders' Cup Distaff and Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, respectively, were remarkably the fourth and fifth Breeders' Cup wins for October grads in the last three years."

The list of recent graded stakes-winning graduates is even more extensive.

"The sale has produced 17 graded stakes winners so far in 2025, including several household names like Chunk of Gold, Nysos, Fondly, Margie's Intention, May Day Ready, Swift Delivery, The Queens M G, Thought Process, and Tip Top Thomas," Browning noted. "Two new graded stakes winners in the past couple of weeks—Taken by the Wind and Ready for Candy—show that there are plenty more in the pipeline."

The catalog may now be viewed online, and will also be available via the Equineline sales catalog app. Print catalogs will be available on-site in Lexington.
