The Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Fall Mixed Sale, not to be outdone by its yearling sale counterpart which broke records in August, set its own highwater marks for gross, average, median and top-priced lot Tuesday in upstate New York. During the one-session auction, 133 horses grossed $6,177,500, for an average of $46,447 and a median of $22,000. The average jumped 74.2% from last year's figure of $26,663 and the median rose 46.7% from $15,000 in 2024. With 73 horses reported not sold, the buy-back rate was 35.4%. It was 40.8% a year ago.The broodmare Showmethemagic (Power Broker) (hip 98), in foal to Cogburn, brought the auction's top price of $260,000 when selling to Jonathan Thorne's Thorndale Farm. The mare was one of four to surpass $200,000 and one of 21 to bring six figures. Eight sold for $100,000 or more in 2024.The stakes-placed Showmethemagic is out of Magic Charm (Horse Greeley), a half-sister to the dam of champion Proud Spell. The mare's 2-year-old filly, Believe in Magic (Not This Time), her first foal, was third in the Untapable Stakes at Kentucky Downs in September.“Young mares like this that have such an active family–the female family is kind of riddled with champions, beginning with Proud Spell, but there are other ones in there–these mares don't come to market very often,” said Thorne. “She's a beautiful mare and I loved her foal. It's an investment in the future.”Of the sale-topping price, Thorne said, “I definitely had to extend for her. I wanted to be about $175,000, but it's only going to get tougher as the fall goes on here. Hopefully, we can get a couple of nice foals out of her and we will just take care of her.”Showmethemagic was followed into the sales ring by her weanling colt by Golden Pal (hip 99), who sold to Peter Pugh on behalf of Cherry Knoll Farm for $210,000. The weanling was bred by Ahlschwede Family and Dr. Scott Pierce. Scott Ahlschwede's River Valley Farm purchased Showmethemagic, in foal to Epicenter, for $85,000 at the 2023 Keeneland November sale. The mare's Epicenter filly sold for $57,000 at last month's Keeneland September sale.Both mare and weanling were consigned by Emma Quinn's Garrencasey Sales, which was making its first appearance at the Saratoga Fall Mixed and celebrating its first-ever sale topper.“The mare was pretty straightforward,” Quinn said. “She is correct and obviously it's a great cover. And then you've got that great update. Her first foal is now black-type placed. And the foal she is carrying is bred on that same cross. Then we accompanied her with this Golden Pal weanling, who has been a very, very nice foal since the day he was born. He just came up here and did a great job every day showing himself. We are really pleased with the results.”Of the decision to present her first consignment at the upstate New York auction, Quinn explained, “I always wanted to come up to this sale. I had some clients who had some New York-bred foals and I just took the opportunity to come up and experience it. Lesley Campion is my best friend–she works for Paramount–and when I made the decision to come, Lesley said she would come and join me in the adventure and it was a successful time for both of us. She helped me so much.”Walking away with the sale topper capped a great first experience, according to Quinn.“It's been a wonderful experience,” she said. “We are really glad we came up. Everything went smoothly and we were made very welcome. We will be back.”Libyan bloodstock agent Mahmud Mouni purchased the auction's top-priced weanling, going to $240,000 to acquire a colt by Yaupon (hip 62). Bred by Sequel Thoroughbreds and Milan Bloodstock and consigned by Sequel New York, the weanling is out of Owl Moon (Ghostzapper) and is a half-brother to stakes-placed Blue Strike (Smart Strike).Mouni purchased four weanlings Tuesday in Saratoga. In addition to hip 62, he purchased a colt by Arabian Lion (hip 58) for $150,000, a colt by Zandon (hip 94) for $75,000, and a filly by Arabian Lion (hip 273) for $40,000.“I think the market was really strong,” Thorne said. “We bought a couple of weanlings with some partners, but it was tough to buy. Everyone in New York is doing a great job, between NYRA and the New York Thoroughbred Breeders. And we have Belmont coming on. I think the market is just going to go up and up. We just need more quality. I am always looking for quality. [Showmethemagic] was a quality type of mare that deserved being bought.”The post New York Magic: Records Fall at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Mixed Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
