Fasig-Tipton has announced its 210 main catalog entries for The November Sale, the company's selected mixed sale to be held in Lexington Nov. 3, following the Breeders' Cup World Championships. The single-session sale will begin at 4 p.m. ET
"The Fasig-Tipton November Sale is the world's premier breeding stock event, where the sport's finest bloodstock is offered in one spectacular, star-studded evening session after the Breeders' Cup," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning Jr. "This year's catalog once again lives up to those lofty standards, with over 60 graded stakes winners or producers cataloged—25 of which are grade 1.
"We're offering an Eclipse champion and Breeders' Cup winner, multiple international champions, and the first reigning (Kentucky Thoroughbred Association) Kentucky Broodmare of the Year (Puca) to be presented at auction in 17 years," Browning continued. "The catalog also features race fillies in peak form, blue-blooded mares in foal to the world's leading stallions, and a selected group of weanlings. It's a sale not to be missed by the sport's leading collectors of top quality bloodstock."
Puca is the dam of 2023 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mage , last year's Belmont Stakes (G1) and Haskell Stakes (G1) winner Dornoch , and most recently Pennsylvania Derby (G1) winner Baeza. She was named the 2024 Broodmare of the Year at the April 11 Kentucky Thoroughbred Association's Kentucky-breds awards dinner.
The graded stakes-placed mare sold to Grandview Equine, the breeder of both Mage and Dornoch, for $475,000 out Denali Stud's consignment at Fasig-Tipton's The November Sale in 2018. Puca headed back to the auction ring in 2023 at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, where Case Clay Thoroughbred Management sold the daughter of Big Brown to Resolute Racing's John Stewart for $2.9 million. Puca is not pregnant.
