    • Stakes-winning Tuscan Sky (Vino Rosso) (hip 7), winner of last year's listed Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park, topped the Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale Tuesday when selling for $450,000 to West Bloodstock. The January Digital Sale, which saw an average of $28,073 and a clearance rate of 79% for its catalogue of horses of racing age, racing/broodmare prospects, broodmares and short yearlings, closed Tuesday evening with 107 horses sold for $3,003,900. The 4-year-old Tuscan Sky, last raced in the GIII Harlan's Holiday Stakes Dec. 21, was offered as a horse of racing age by ELiTE, agent. A multiple stakes performer who competed in the GII Wood Memorial Stakes and the GI NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes as a 3-year-old, Tuscan Sky is a half-brother to Grade II-winning millionaire and sire Private Creed (Jimmy Creed), out of the stakes-winning Sky Mesa mare South Andros. “This sale was a great way to start the year,” said Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales Leif Aaron. “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 (Big Screen) (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 (Girvin) (hip 11), a stakes-winning broodmare prospect, sold for $130,000 to CEM Bloodstock. The four-year-old was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent. Gold Lightning (Bolt d'Oro) (hip 18), a multiple stakes- performing racing/broodmare prospect sold for $125,000 to Machmer Hall. The four-year-old was consigned by Evergreen Equine, agent. Full sales results are available online. The next Fasig-Tipton Digital sale will be the February Digital Sale, to be held February 20-25. Entries close February 5.

    • Strangles Detected in North Canterbury: What Horse Owners Need to Know Horse owners in North Canterbury are advised to remain vigilant following the detection of a Strangles case in the region. While this case is not connected to the racing community, Strangles is a highly contagious notifiable bacterial disease, and proactive measures are essential to protect your horses. What is Strangles? Strangles is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi, primarily affecting the upper respiratory tract of horses. It spreads rapidly through: Direct Contact: Nose-to-nose interaction between horses. Indirect Contact: Shared equipment, contaminated water buckets, feed troughs, or tack. Environmental Contamination: The bacteria can survive for days to weeks in favorable conditions, increasing the risk of indirect transmission. While most horses recover with proper care, complications such as abscess formation in other parts of the body (“bastard strangles”), prolonged illness, or, in rare cases, death can occur. Early detection and management are crucial to minimizing its impact. Symptoms to Watch For Be alert for these signs of Strangles: Fever: A temperature above 38.5°C. Nasal Discharge: Thick, pus-like discharge. Swelling or Abscesses: Around the head and neck (lymph nodes). Cough: Difficulty eating or a reduced appetite. Breathing Issues: Respiratory noise or labored breathing. How to Protect Your Horse Vaccinate: A Strangles vaccine can help prevent infection or reduce the severity of symptoms. Limit Contact: Avoid nose-to-nose interaction and shared equipment with potentially infected horses. Isolate: Do not move horses to or from affected properties. Travel Wisely: Carefully assess the risks of transporting horses, especially if they are unvaccinated. If your horse shows any symptoms, isolate them immediately and contact your veterinarian for testing and guidance. By staying informed and practicing good biosecurity, we can help protect our equine community and limit the spread of Strangles. View the full article
