Graded Stakes Winners Headline F-T July Digital Sale

Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 215 entries for its inaugural July Digital Sale, which may be viewed online here. Bidding is now open and will close July 23, beginning at 12 p.m. ET.

The catalog features 91 horses of racing age, led by 2024 graded stakes winners Hades  (Hip 1) and Nadette  (Hip 39). A leader in his 3-year-old crop this year, Hades captured the Holy Bull Stakes (G3) over 2023 champion 2-year-old male Fierceness  in January and recently finished second in the Dwyer Stakes (G3) July 6. Nadette, a 5-year-old graded stakes-winning mare of $329,634, won the Beverly D. Preview Stakes by 4 3/4 lengths at Colonial Downs July 13.  

Breeding stock on offer is led by the dispersal of the Lakin Estate Partnership, which includes broodmares as well as several New York-foaled weanlings. The Lakin entries are consigned by Sequel New York, as agent.

In total, there are 92 broodmares or broodmare prospects cataloged, including 26 mares with foals at foot. Fifteen hips have been withdrawn through midday July 18.

The catalog also includes 25 yearlings, as well as unraced 2-year-olds, and a stallion prospect.

"The interest from sellers in this inaugural July Digital Sale has been overwhelming," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "We have quality racehorses at all levels, including high-end stakes horses and recent winners." 

"Our breeding stock entries are especially impressive for a midsummer sale," Aaron continued. "Mare and weanling buyers need to zero in on this catalog or risk missing some major opportunities."
