The Fasig-Tipton November sale added another pair of supplements to the catalogue with Grade I star power to their families Monday, namely Streak of Luck (Old Fashioned), the dam of MGISW Ted Noffey (Into Mischief), and MSW Avana (Vino Rosso). The former, who is by a son of leading broodmare sire Unbridled's Song, will go through the ring as HIP 220 via the Taylor Made Sales Agency consignment for Aaron and Marie Jones. She was purchased by said owners back in 2021 for $620,000 at the KEENOV sale. The 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' is the mare's second foal with her first being Fully Authorized (Authentic), a two-time winner in his own right as a juvenile. Ted Noffey was recently seen dominating the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland to firmly stamp himself as the one to beat at the Breeders' Cup this November at Del Mar. Her yearling filly by Munnings sold to Repole Stables at KEESEP for $425,000 last month. The mare is being offered in foal to red-hot sire Not This Time, who counts 12 individual graded winners in 2025 and two Grade I winners on the turf in the last two months–those being Rhetorical and Troubleshooting. He also sired the exacta in Saturday's GII Franklin Stakes, won by Time to Dazzle–herself out of an Unbridled's Song broodmare, with In Our Time running second. He again made his power known Sunday when siring the bottom two-thirds of the trifecta in the GIII Glen Cove Stakes via Flat Out Time and Abientot. He claimed the entire board in the GII Jessamine Stakes Oct. 3 on opening weekend at Keeneland among other fruitful results for the stallion this year. Catalogued as HIP 219 is Avana, an 11-time winner in her career with five victories coming during her 2025 campaign. She's a multiple stakes winner who is out of a full-sister to MGISW Belle Gallantey (After Market), and counts a half-sibling named Revealing Quality (Quality Road), the dam of SP Mo Quality (Mo Town). That pair also has a four-time winning half-brother by Good Magic. This is the extended female family of the late champion, MGISW Arrogate. Avana will go through the ring as a racing or broodmare prospect consigned by Indian Creek, agent for the Complete Dispersal of Peter Redekop B.C. Ltd. The entire catalogue, complete with the most recent supplements, may be viewed here. Print versions of the supplemental catalogue will be available on-site at sale time.

Bidding returns to the Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion in upstate New York for the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Fall Mixed Sale, which begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. A total of 281 horses, including weanlings, broodmares, and broodmare prospects, have been catalogued for the one-session auction. Lili Kobielski saw plenty to be optimistic about as she oversaw her The New Hill Farm consignment at barn seven Monday. “The activity has been wonderful,” she said. “We have been non-stop yesterday and today. We've seen some new faces today that I think just got in. The energy is amazing.” The Saratoga auction comes as an ultra-competitive yearling sales season nears its finale. “The yearling sales were so strong, I would certainly expect that everyone would be excited to buy babies,” Kobielski said. “I would think all the yearling sellers would be feeling confident and have some cash in their pockets.” The newly passed tax code which features bonus depreciation, allowing buyers to write off the up-front cost of a horse in its first year, has helped drive much of the national demand for yearlings this summer and fall. On a regional level, purse parity will begin in 2026, allowing New York-breds to race for equal purse money as open company horses on the New York Racing Association circuit. Both factors–plus high purses–figure to make for a competitive market in Saratoga, according to Kobielski. “I think depreciation is a big deal, right now,” Kobielski said. “And there is also purse parity in New York starting soon, so New York-breds will be running for the same money as open company. That's another great incentive to buy one. And purses are so big. It's a really exciting time to be buying.” The Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearlings Sale in August, which produced records for gross and average and a record-tying median, also rewarded several pinhookers who had purchased weanlings at last year's Fall sale. The $525,000 co-topping daughter of Early Voting had been purchased for $150,000 last October, while a daughter of Practical Joke purchased for $62,500 last year, sold in August for $500,000. Pinhookers shopping The New Hill Farm consignment last October also found success in August, with a daughter of Upstart purchased as a weanling for $80,000 selling this year for $350,000 and a colt by Vekoma purchased for $90,000 selling for $325,000. “We are very grateful to the pinhookers,” Kobielski said. “It's always good news for everyone when someone buys from you and they do well with your horses. Then they come back and hopefully buy more.” During last year's Saratoga Fall sale, 148 head sold for $3,920,500. The average was $26,490 and the median was $14,500. A filly by Cyberknife brought the auction's top price of $230,000 and the weanling was one of eight to sell for six figures.

The International Thoroughbred Breeders' Federation (ITBF) has announced the launch of its Stud Farm Supporters initiative. In a move to help meet the not-for-profit organisation's increased running costs, several individual Thoroughbred stud farms from across the globe are donating to ensure the continued vital work and achievements of the ITBF. As the sole international representative body for Thoroughbred breeders, ITBF currently serves the Thoroughbred breeding organisations, and the individual members within, of 29 member countries across six continents. ITBF Stud Farm Supporters include Coolmore (global), Godolphin's breeding operation, Darley (global), Juddmonte (global), Shadwell (Europe), Lanwades (Europe), Arrowfield (Australia), Northern Farm (Japan), Usha Stud (India) and the National Stud (England), as well as support in South America. The ITBF's CEO, Sarah Carmichael, said “The ITBF crucially speaks for, and acts on behalf of Thoroughbred breeders, ensuring that the voice of breeders is heard and responded to on the global stage. “Our industry faces more challenges than ever before and requires unfaltering representation at the highest level. The ITBF has an ever-evolving remit, and with that, our running costs have naturally increased in tandem. “We are delighted at the positive response from 'ITBF Stud Farm Supporters' who have so generously shown their appreciation of the ITBF's vital work in representing 'breeding' within the wider Thoroughbred industry, the equine world, at governmental and supra governmental levels.” She added, “We are enormously grateful to the stud farms who have contributed to help meet our needs. The ITBF, of course, does remain resolutely neutral in representing all breeders equally, across all member nations.” The post The ITBF Launches Stud Farm Supporters Initiative appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The Goffs QIPCO British Champions Day Sale returns to Ascot Racecourse on Saturday, with a pair of promising two-year-olds set to go under the hammer before the richest day in the British racing calendar gets underway. Opening Saturday's sale is the Showcasing colt Generous Rascal (lot 1), who broke his maiden on his second and most recent start at Kempton earlier this month. A half-brother to Juddmonte's G1 Dewhurst Stakes and G1 2,000 Guineas hero Chaldean (Frankel), who now stands as a stallion at Banstead Manor Stud, Generous Rascal will be sold by trainer Oliver Cole's Whatcombe Racing with an entry in the Listed Criterium de Vitesse at Deauville. The filly Birdcall (lot 2) follows, an impressive four-length winner on her recent debut at Nottingham. Consigned by Ollie Sangster Racing, the daughter of in-form sire Night Of Thunder hails from the family of Group 1 winners such as Dream Of Dreams, Airwave, Churchill and Clemmie. She will be sold with an entry in the Listed Bosra Sham Stakes at Newmarket. Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “The Goffs QIPCO British Champions Day Sale hit the headlines when selling Rogue Lightning for £1,000,000 in 2023 and it's wonderful to partner with Ascot Racecourse again as part of Britain's richest race day. “This sale is very much in keeping with the 'right time, right place' ethos of our hugely successful Goffs London Sale which has been the curtain raiser to Royal Ascot for over a decade and has offered many top-class horses over the years including current recent Group 1 winners Woodshauna, Lazzat and Red Lion. “Generous Rascal and Birdcall are both London Sale calibre horses as they have a huge amount of potential, and we look forward to selling them before racing from Ascot's iconic winners' podium.” Both horses will be offered with 5% agent's commission and have been vetted. Veterinary Certificates are available to view online, along with conformation photos and videos.
