Fasig-Tipton has catalogued 347 selected yearlings for The July Sale to be held Tuesday, July 12, prompting the sales company to move the July Selected Horses of Racing Age to the evening of Monday, July 11, it was announced Monday. Both sales will be held in Lexington.
“The continued growth of the July yearling catalogue, coupled with the popularity of the July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale has prompted the schedule change,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “We'll offer a quality group of Horses of Racing Age on Monday evening as our opening act, and then the July Selected Yearling Sale will take center stage the following morning.”
The July Sale posted its highest average and median since 2007 in 2015, resulting in an expanded catalogue for the third consecutive year.
“This year's catalogue is up in numbers, but just as importantly, boasts increased quality–including yearlings by current top ranked sires Tapit, Uncle Mo, Curlin, Congrats, City Zip and Malibu Moon,” Browning noted.
In previous years, both sales were held on the same date. The 2016 July Sale catalogue can be viewed online, while Fasig-Tipton will continue to accept nominations for the July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale through the end of June.
