Bidding Now Open for F-T Express Kid Flash Sale

Bidding opened Jan. 5 for the “Express Kid Flash Sale,” a one-horse online auction of recent Springboard Mile Stakes winner Express Kid on Fasig-Tipton Digital. Bidding will close Jan. 9 at 4 p.m. ET. Paramount Sales, agent, consigns the 3-year-old colt. Express Kid won his most recent start in the $300,000 Springboard Mile Stakes at Remington Park Dec. 20 by 6 1/4 lengths, going gate-to-wire and earning a career-best 85 Beyer speed figure. He earned 10 Kentucky Derby (G1) qualifying points for the victory. Express Kid is a winner of 3 of 5 career starts, with earnings of $236,902. He has demonstrated great versatility thus far in his career, having taken his debut going 4 1/2 furlongs July 3, followed by a second in the Prairie Meadows Freshman Stakes going 6 furlongs Aug. 16. He is also a winner on turf around two turns. “Express Kid delivered a career-best performance in his two-turn dirt debut, winning the Springboard Mile,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. “He is developing and improving at an exciting time of year with Kentucky Derby-prep season upon us.” Express Kid has classic influences throughout his pedigree. He is out of a multiple-winning daughter of Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense, and his second dam is the multiple stakes winner and graded stakes placed Stormy West, by Gone West. His third dam is multiple stakes winner Storm Beauty, a multiple stakes-producing daughter of Storm Cat. Express Kid is available for inspection at Turf Paradise in Phoenix.
