Stakes Winner Tuscan Sky Tops Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale

[Wandering Eyes]

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.”
