Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 25 Journalists Posted June 25 Fasig-Tipton will award a bonus of $25,000 to the trainer that purchases the highest number of yearlings at its upcoming July Selected Yearling Sale, according to a press release from the auction company on Wednesday. To receive the bonus, the trainer will need to be in attendance at the sale and sign the ticket for each yearling purchased personally. The auction, scheduled for Tuesday, July 8 in Lexington, Kentucky, kicks off yearling sales season in North America with a precocious group of yearlings selected by Fasig-Tipton's inspection team. “The July Sale is a truly a trainer's sale,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “It offers early maturing, athletic yearlings selected more on physical than pedigree. Our goal with this bonus is to encourage as many trainers as possible to attend the sale and take advantage of the quality that we have to offer. “The quality of horses offered in July is reflected in the sale's performance statistics,” he said. “July is ranked number one among major North American yearling sales by percentage of stakes winners, stakes horses, and two-year-old winners, and number two by percentage of Grade I winners and graded stakes winners, trailing only our Saratoga Sale.” The catalogue may be viewed online and in the Equineline sales catalogue app. Print catalogues are now available from all Fasig-Tipton offices.
