Due to the ice storm currently forecasted in the region around Lexington, Fasig-Tipton officials are pushing back the start date of next week's Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale to Feb. 8.
The two-day auction was originally scheduled to take place on Feb. 7-8, a Monday and Tuesday, but will now be held Feb. 8-9, a Tuesday and Wednesday.
Hips 1-300 will now be offered in the Tuesday session. Hips 301 through the supplemental catalog (which currently goes through Hip 606), will be offered on Wednesday. Both sessions will begin at 10 a.m. ET.
"Our area is currently under an ice storm warning from tomorrow morning through Friday morning, and in the interests of safety we have decided to push the sale back by one day," said Fasig-Tipton president and CEO Boyd Browning Jr. "This will ensure that horses and sale participants will have ample time to arrive on the sales grounds and begin inspections when conditions are safe to do so."
On Jan. 31, Fasig-Tipton announced 35 additional supplements to the sale, including the stakes-placed Road to Romance (Hip 592), Smartly Agree (Hip 594), Regal Retort (Hip 598), and Taylor Avenue (Hip 599). Other additions include Maggi O'Prado (Hip 597), a half sister to grade 1 winner Dream Tree , and Gypsy Angel (Hip 600), dam of stakes winner Mrs. Orb .
