Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 27 Journalists Posted August 27 Recent Bolton Landing Stakes winner and two-for-three 2-year-old filly Snow Face Princess (Midshipman) topped Fasig-Tipton's August Digital Sale Tuesday when selling for $775,000 to Winchell Thoroughbreds. The sale closed with 154 horses sold for $4,886,500, averaging $31,730 with a clearance rate of 81%. Sold as hip 39, Snow Face Princess was offered as a racing/broodmare prospect and was consigned by Claiborne Farm, agent. Another highlight of the August Digital Sale was the Turning Point Bloodstock-consigned Ascot Walk (Daaher). Selling for $550,000 to Erdenheim Farm Thoroughbreds and offered as hip 1, Ascot Walk is in foal to Cody's Wish. All three of her foals to race are stakes performers, including SW Drexel Hill (Bolt d'Oro), runner-up in this year's GI Kentucky Oaks. “We are very grateful to the buyers for supporting the sale and the sellers for entrusting us with their horses,” said Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales Leif Aaron. “The sale today was fantastic and a great way for us to end the summer digital sales season. The outlook for the fall digital sales is already very strong and we are gearing up for a big October and December. Demand this week was strong from the top of the market all the way down. What a great day for Bill Johnson and his team capitalizing on multiple big updates with their super mare Ascot Walk. Also thankful to Claiborne for consigning the very exciting Snow Face Princess to the sale.” The August Digital Sale offered horses of racing age, racing/broodmare prospects, breeding stock, yearlings, and a stallion prospect.
