Bidding is now open on the Fasig-Tipton Digital portal for multiple Grade I-placed Silent Tactic (Tacitus) with a 50% ownership interest up for purchase, the auction announced Monday.
Consigned by Justin Casse as agent for John Oxley, the bidding will close Friday, Aug. 14 at 12:00pm EST. The Mark Casse trainee has not been off the board in seven career starts and has raced exclusively against black type company since breaking his maiden at Woodbine at first asking. The son of Tacitus has hit the board in the GIII Grey Stakes; GII Rebel Stakes; GI Arkansas Derby; and most recently in the GIII Jim Dandy at Saratoga. He took home top honors in February when claiming the GIII Southwest Stakes.
Silent Tactic will target the GI Travers Stakes at Saratoga Aug. 29 and is stabled at the track, where he is available for inspection.
The colt is out of a half-sister to MGSP Moraz (Empire Maker) who hails from the female family of GSW & GISP Temple City (Dynaformer). The third dam is G1 Prix Marcel Boussac Criterium des Pouliches victress Macoumba (Mr. Prospector).
“This is a very exciting offering, a fifty-percent ownership interest in a graded stakes-winning millionaire three-year-old colt that is Travers-bound,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. “His prospective buyer not only has a ticket to the Travers Stakes, but several other exciting races down the road, including the Breeders' Cup Classic, Pegasus World Cup, Saudi Cup, and Dubai World Cup. These opportunities do not come along very often.”
