Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 171 select yearlings for its inaugural running of The Turf Showcase, Presented by Woodbine Racetrack. The sale will be held Sept. 10 beginning at 4:00 p.m. EDT, at Fasig-Tipton's Newtown Paddocks near Lexington.
The Turf Showcase is the first North American sale consisting entirely of yearlings with "turf appeal." All yearlings cataloged have been approved on both conformation and pedigree by Fasig-Tipton.
"We are very pleased with the quality of this catalog for the inaugural sale," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. "These yearlings have sire power, depth of pedigree, and physical conformation that will appeal to a broad range of domestic and international buyers.
"In North America this year, 40% of all graded stakes races will be conducted on turf, along with nearly 7,000 races. Internationally, U.S.-breds continue to excel on the world's biggest stages. This sale represents a perfect opportunity for buyers from around the globe to find yearlings that suit their racing programs—in a convenient, single sale session."
The catalog may now be viewed online and via the equineline sales catalog app. Print catalogs will be available in early August.
