Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 235 selected yearlings for the 102nd Saratoga Sale, to be held Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 7-8, in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Sessions will begin each evening at 6:30 p.m. ET in the Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion.
"This year's Saratoga catalog is exceptional," said Fasig-Tipton president and CEO Boyd Browning. "Our numbers have increased by 10% over last year, and the quality of sire power, pedigrees, and physicals are at the top of this year's yearling crop."
The Saratoga Sale is again the top-ranked major North American yearling sale by percentage of grade 1 winners and graded stakes winners, according to statistics recently released by BloodHorse MarketWatch.
Recent sales graduates are led by 2022 Horse of the Year Flightline , who capped his brilliant, undefeated career with an emphatic victory in the 2022 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). National Treasure , a graduate of the 2021 Saratoga Sale, became the sale's latest classic winner in claiming this year's Preakness Stakes (G1).
Other prominent recent graduates include Blazing Sevens , winner of the 2022 Champagne Stakes (G1) and second in this year's Preakness, and Exaulted, undefeated on turf and winner of the Shoemaker Mile Stakes (G1T).
Songbird, an inductee into this year's National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, is also a Saratoga Sale graduate.
"No yearling sale in the country offers a higher concentration of quality, and the success of our graduates validates that," said Browning. "Saratoga has produced many of the best horses we have seen in our lifetimes."
The catalog may now be viewed online, and will also be available via the equineline sales catalog app. Print catalogs are now available from all Fasig-Tipton offices.
