Fasig-Tipton Releases Catalog for 105th Saratoga Sale

Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 230 selected yearlings for the 105th Saratoga Sale, to be held Aug. 10-11 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Sessions will begin each evening at 6:30 p.m. ET in the Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion. "We've set a high standard in recent years with a series of exceptional Saratoga sales, and this year's catalog is every bit as strong—if not stronger—than those acclaimed renewals," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning Jr. "Elite individuals, leading sire power, and depth of pedigree will once again be on full display at our historic Saratoga sales grounds." The Saratoga Sale is yet 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. The auction has produced six individual grade 1 winners over the past year. Recent sales graduates include 2024 champion 3-year-old male Sierra Leone, who last year added the Whitney Stakes (G1) to his remarkable résumé; Journalism, who followed up his win in last year's Preakness Stakes (G1) with a victory in the Haskell Stakes (G1); Clicquot, winner of the 2025 Cotillion Stakes (G1); Commandment, winner of this year's Florida Derby (G1); Shred the Gnar, who captured the La Troienne Stakes (G1) on Kentucky Oaks day at Churchill Downs; and Hope Road, who claimed the 2025 Ballerina Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course. In addition to success at the grade 1 level, The Saratoga Sale has produced 10 additional individual graded stakes winners over the last 12 months in Barnes, Call Sign Seven, Final Score, Fulleffort, Litmus Test, Nafisa, Paladin, Perfect Shot, Potente, and Zany. "To produce such a high number of graded stakes winners each year at Saratoga, from just one book of 200 to 240 yearlings, is truly remarkable," Browning continued. "It's a testament to the depth of quality that can only be found at The Saratoga Sale." 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.
