"We are heating things up in February with a sizzling catalog," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "We have some serious breeding stock cataloged—including graded stakes performers—as well as offerings from three dispersals, horses of racing age, a million dollar-earning stallion prospect, and a no-guarantee season to Street Sense."

"We are excited to offer a group of 2-year-olds in training for the first time on Fasig-Tipton Digital, in a new and unique format," continued Aaron. "Two-year-olds will be sold from their training bases in Ocala, Florida; Aiken, South Carolina; and Lexington, Kentucky; and presented with professionally filmed gallop and breeze videos that are untimed."

Aaron continued: "All the resources of a traditional 2-year-old sale will be at the buyer's disposal, including conformation photos and walking videos, vet reports, and a full repository. There is quality sire power among the entries, and buyers may schedule appointments to inspect the horses in-person through our platform."

Sires represented by 2-year-olds in training include Constitution  , Munnings  , Not This Time  , and Yaupon  . Two-year-olds in training are all grouped together in the catalog as hips 41-57.
