Sweet Tea Brings $320K at F-T Fox Hill Flash Sale

The Fox Hill Flash Sale—Fasig-Tipton Digital's first "flash sale"—closed at 2 p.m. April 8 after just over two days of open bidding. The sole offering, 4-year-old broodmare prospect Sweet Tea  (Into Mischief  ), sold for $320,000 to Vicente Perez. The filly was consigned as Hip 1 by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent for Fox Hill Farms.

Acquired for $300,000 by Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farms as a yearling at the 2019 Keeneland September Sale, Sweet Tea broke her maiden at second asking in a maiden special weight at Oaklawn Park. Sweet Tea's dam Ava Pie (Distorted Humor) has also produced graded stakes-placed stakes winners Forever Liesel (Mineshaft  ) and Sound Machine (Into Mischief). She hails from the family of graded stakes winners Lakenheath and Glass Ceiling.

"The Fox Hill Flash Sale was a tremendous success, demonstrating the strength and versatility of Fasig-Tipton Digital," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "It was a win for all parties, as the purchaser—who actually bred the filly—is thrilled to have Sweet Tea back in his broodmare band. We are very appreciative of longtime Fasig-Tipton supporter Fox Hill Farms entrusting the sale of such a quality filly with our new digital platform."

Ten unique bidders battled for the popular broodmare prospect, with more than 150 bids placed during the 50-hour bidding window.

The next Fasig-Tipton Digital Sale will be held April 21-26. Nominations are open through April 14.
