Filly Ada Clare Caps F-T October Digital Sale

Fasig-Tipton's October Digital Sale closed Oct. 14 with gross sales of $6,729,000 for 287 horses sold.

"The October Digital Sale was a tremendous success, delivering stronger numbers than last year and vibrant market activity across all market segments," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. "Gross sales increased 34%, the average price increased 14%, and the median increased 28% over 2025.

"Once again, professional consignors led the way. Horses sold through professional consignors brought 25% more on average, highlighting the value they bring through their understanding of market conditions, expert presentation, broader buyer reach, and established relationships within purchasing circles."

Ada Clare  (Hip 39), a 3-year-old filly by Quality Road  , sold for $500,000 to DG Stables to top the sale. She was offered as a racing/broodmare prospect by X-Men Racing. A stakes-placed multiple winner with earnings of $162,241 to date, Ada Clare is also a half sister to recent Breeders' Futurity (G1) winner American History🔥 .

"We raced Ada Clare, so it made sense for us to sell her, as we had direct contact with her," said Donato Lanni on behalf of X-Men Racing. "I've never sold a sales topper before! Fasig-Tipton Digital is a proven, well-developed system. It's a transparent process and Fasig-Tipton has a strong track record, so it just felt natural to sell online with them."

Hadrian's Wall  (Hip 13), a horse of racing age, sold for $300,000 to NRCLUB as the sale's second-highest price. The 3-year-old son of Curlin  , out of 2020 Adirondack Stakes (G2) winner Thoughtfully🔥 , was offered by ELiTE, agent. Hadrian's Wall is placed at 2 and 3 and has earned $100,000 to date.

Sobhy Sonbol went to $240,000 to secure the sale's top broodmare Hillerito  (Hip 257), offered in foal to Maxfield   by Ballysax Bloodstock, agent. The stakes-winning mare was offered carrying her first foal. Hillerito hails from the immediate family of 1997's champion 2-year-old filly Countess Diana.

CRC Racing purchased racing/broodmare prospect Lee's Baby Girl  (Hip 23) for $220,000 from the consignment of Carla Gaines, agent. A 4-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon, Lee's Baby Girl is a three-time winner and was graded stakes placed in the John C. Harris Stakes (G3T) last year. She has earned $211,980 to date.

Beautiful Blome  (Hip 2), sold for $150,000 to Caroline and Greg Bentley from the consignment of Evergreen Equine, agent. Offered as a racing/broodmare prospect, the 4-year-old filly was a stakes winner as a juvenile and sold off a victory in her most recent start Sept. 11. A seven-time winner, Beautiful Blome has earned $329,710 to date.

The average price was $23,449 and the median was $10,000. 

The next digital sale is the December Digital Sale, to be held Dec. 3-8. Entries close Nov. 18.

"As we look ahead to the December Digital Sale, I strongly encourage sellers to use a professional consignor," Aaron noted. "The results speak for themselves. A small commission can deliver an average sales price of 25% more. That's a difference worth considering when it comes to maximizing your horse's value."
