The catalogue for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale of 2-Year-Olds In Training, to be held at the Maryland State Fairgounds in Timonium, Maryland, Monday and Tuesday, May 18 and 19 and featuring 593 juveniles, is now available at www.fasigtipton.com.
“Our consignors have shown tremendous support for Midlantic May this year, resulting in an outstanding catalogue,” said Paget Bennett, Midlantic Director of Sales. “Growth in both numbers and sire power makes this one of our strongest editions to date.”
There will be a series of three under-tack previews ahead of the auction set for Tuesday through Thursday, May 12-14. This year's under-tack shows will be held under a new format, with untimed workouts and limited use of the crop. The breezes will not be timed by Fasig-TIpton and no official times will be recorded. Additional details can be found here.
“We are pleased to present our under-tack show in a new format in 2026, offering untimed workouts and reduced whip use,” said Bennett. “These updates are designed to better showcase a horse's natural athleticism, as well as help more horses transition smoothly from the sales ring to the racetrack.
“We experimented with this format at last year's sale, which yielded tremendous results. Two of the graded stakes winners on this year's catalogue cover, [GII Beaumont Stakes winner] A Fine Chardonnay (Maclean's Music) and [GII Miss Grillo Stakes winner and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf third] Ground Support (Army Mule), were sold off untimed workouts.”
Other graduates of the Midlantic Sale include MGSW & MGISP 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Explora (Blame), a leading contender for next month's GI Kentucky Oaks; and MGSWs Charlene's Dream (Qurbaan) and Mendelssohn Bay (Mendelssohn).
The online catalogue may be viewed here and will be available via the Equineline sales catalogue app. Print copies will be available beginning Apr. 20.
