Fasig-Tipton February Digital Sale Opens, Includes Street Sense Season To Benefit Stable Recovery

[Wandering Eyes]

Bidding is now open for the Fasig-Tipton February Digital Sale, which includes among its 240 offerings a 'no guarantee' season to sire Street Sense with a portion of the proceeds going to recent Special Eclipse Award winner Stable Recovery, the auction company said via a release Thursday.

The online sale will close Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 2:00 p.m. ET. The catalogue offers horses of racing age, breeding stock–including mares with foals at foot, 2-year-olds in training, yearlings, a stallion prospect, and a no guarantee stallion season.

“We are heating things up in February with a sizzling catalogue,” said Fasig-Tipton Director of Digital Sales Leif Aaron. “We have some serious breeding stock catalogued–including graded stakes performers–as well as offerings from three dispersals, horses of racing age, a million-dollar-earning stallion prospect, and a no guarantee season to Street Sense.”

Fasig-Tipton will also debut a new type of offering on its digital platform in this sale, a segment of 2-year-olds in training.

“We are excited to offer a group of 2-year-olds in training for the first time on Fasig-Tipton Digital, in a new and unique format,” continued Aaron. “Two-year-olds will be sold from their training bases in Ocala, Florida; Aiken, South Carolina; and Lexington, Kentucky; and presented with professionally filmed gallop and breeze videos that are untimed.

“All the resources of a traditional two-year-old sale will be at the buyer's disposal, including conformation photos and walking videos, vet reports, and a full repository,” Aaron said. “There is quality sire power among the entries, and buyers may schedule appointments to inspect the horses in-person through our platform.”

Sires represented by 2-year-olds in training include Constitution, Munnings, Not This Time, and Yaupon.  Two-year-olds in training are all grouped together in the catalogue as hips 41-57.

Other offerings of interest in the catalogue:

• 'No guarantee' season to Street Sense (Hip 38), with a portion of the season's sale proceeds donated to Stable Recovery;
• Dispersal of Swifty Farms, offering horses of racing age, breeding stock, and yearlings, all of which are eligible for the Indiana-bred program;
• Breeding stock from the dispersal of Red Oak Stable;
• Stallion prospect Newgrange (Hip 9), MGSW and millionaire son of Violence.
