Due to the current travel restrictions put in place by the state government of New York to combat the spread of COVID-19, Fasig-Tipton announced Aug. 10 that the sales company will not conduct the Saratoga Fall Sale Oct. 20 as originally scheduled in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Instead, Fasig-Tipton will combine the auction with the Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age Sale, which will now be held over two days Dec. 7-8.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's New York Travel Advisory requires individuals that travel to New York—from any of the states currently listed—to complete a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon arrival. There are currently 35 states/territories listed under the travel advisory, including horse racing regions Kentucky, Florida, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, California, and Texas.

"The current travel advisory requirements make it virtually impossible for many buyers from out of state to attend an auction in Saratoga," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning Jr. "We do not know what the duration or scope of the New York Travel Advisory will be in October. Combining our Saratoga Fall and Midlantic December sales into a two-day auction in Maryland is the prudent and logical course of action at this point in time."

The Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age Sale will be conducted on a Monday and Tuesday at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, Md. Entries for the main catalog will close Sept. 18. The entry deadline for the Horses of Racing Age Supplement is Nov. 13. Entry forms are available at fasigtipton.com.
