Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 299 main catalog entries for The November Sale, the company's selected mixed sale to be held in Lexington Sunday, Nov. 6, following the Breeders' Cup. The single-session sale will begin at 1:00 p.m. ET.
"The Fasig-Tipton November Sale annually offers the highest concentration of quality breeding stock in the world, and this year's catalog more than lives up to that billing," said Fasig-Tipton president and CEO Boyd Browning, Jr. "We have 56 graded stakes winners or producers cataloged, 23 of which are grade 1. Included among these are Eclipse Champions, international champions, Breeders' Cup winners, a dual Royal Ascot winner, and three Kentucky Oaks winners."
The sale begins with 180 selected weanlings—the largest group of weanlings offered in the sale's recent history—before transitioning into racing/broodmare prospects and broodmares as evening falls.
"This catalog is as deep in quality as it is internationally diverse," continued Browning. "Nearly 80% of the racing and broodmare offerings are either a black-type winner or the dam of a black-type winner, providing buying opportunities at a variety of price levels."
The catalog may now be viewed online, including Fasig-Tipton's popular Enhanced Catalog.
The Enhanced Catalog provides up-to-date catalog pages, Daily Racing Form past performances, and race replays; an Alan Porter pedigree analysis and five-cross pedigrees for all racing/broodmare prospects and broodmares; stallion register pages for all sires of weanlings and covering sires; as well as other tools to aid prospective buyers. All grade 1-winning females off the track or carrying their first foals will also be profiled with individual feature videos.
During last year's edition of The Night of the Stars, the partnerships of Whisper Hill Farm and Three Chimneys Farm teamed up to purchase Magical World, topping the sale after spending $5.2M for the mare in foal to leading sire Into Mischief . Magical World is the dam of three-time grade 1 winner and earner of over $1M, Guarana, grade 2 stakes winner Magic Dance, and stakes winner Beatbox. The Distorted Humor mare is from the family of Pleasant Home, Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) winner and half sibling to the grade 1 placed Pleasant Orb.
Print catalogs will be available by Oct. 6. The catalog will also be available via the Equineline sales catalog app.
Online bidding and phone bidding will be available.
The November Sale will also offer a supplemental catalog. Fasig-Tipton will accept approved entries for the supplement through Nov. 5.
