Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 139 entries for its February Digital Sale, which may be viewed at digital.fasigtipton.com. Bidding is now open and will close Feb. 20, beginning at 2 p.m. ET.

"Fasig-Tipton Digital continues to gather momentum and traction with buyers and sellers, evidenced by the size and quality of this February Digital Sale catalog," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. 

The catalog includes horses of racing, breeding stock, a 2-year-old, and 22 yearlings. 

Offerings include several recent winning and stakes-winning horses of racing age, an attractive group of graded stakes-performing broodmare prospects, and a current graded stakes producer.

Covering sires include Army Mule  , Epicenter  , Essential Quality  , Flameaway  , Golden Pal  , Mitole  , and Not This Time  .

Also featured in the catalog are breeding stock and yearlings from Phase 1 of the Ruis Racing Dispersal, which are consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency.

A successful owner and breeder that trained its own horses, Ruis Racing's many accomplishments include the campaigning of multiple grade 1 winner and millionaire Bolt d'Oro  . At 2, Bolt d'Oro won the Del Mar Futurity (G1), followed by a 7 3/4-length romp in the FrontRunner Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita Park. He retired to stud at Spendthrift Farm and quickly established himself as one of the sport's leading young sires. He was crowned leading freshman sire of 2022, with progeny earnings that year of nearly $3,000,000.

All Ruis Racing entries are selling without reserve.

The dispersal features several mares in foal to Bolt d'Oro, as well as Hard Spun  , Lexitonian  , and Mystic Guide  . Sires of broodmares and broodmare prospects include Bolt d'Oro, Elusive Quality, Harlan's Holiday, Into Mischief  , and Kingman  .

"Phase 1 of the Ruis Racing Dispersal adds significant interest to this catalog," added Aaron. "His program is truly unique in that it is a family operation that bred and trained their own horses and has had tremendous results doing so. Horses were raised and developed with one goal—to win the sport's biggest races."

Phase 2 of the Ruis Racing Dispersal will be conducted in Fasig-Tipton's April Digital Sale, and includes horses of racing age, 2-year-olds, and additional yearlings.
