Fasig Yearling Sale: It's a Wrap

Fasig-Tipton's two-day Selected Yearlings Showcase concluded Thursday with solid enough trade-especially on flashier offerings-given the global uncertainty leading up to the first major yearling sale in the year of COVID-19.

The auction, necessitated by the cancellation of the July, Saratoga and New York-bred sales, featured 348 transactions for gross receipts of $61,765,000 at an average of $177,486 and median of $120,000. The buy-back rate was 33.7%.
