The Fasig-Tipton November Sale, which perennially offers a glittering array of racing and broodmare prospects, will be held Monday in Lexington with bidding on the catalogue of 223 head beginning at 4 p.m. Expectations for the auction are understandably high following a season of record-setting yearling sales.“We have seen a very, very strong yearling marketplace this year and the trends that made a positive yearling sale should continue through the November sale,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “I am very bullish on the marketplace for both foals and fillies and mares coming off the racetrack and in-foal mares. I think everyone should be enthusiastic and positive heading into the November sale.”This year's offerings include multiple horses who saw action on Breeders' Cup weekend at Del Mar, including GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Shisospicy (Mitole) (hip 147)–as well as her dam, Mischief Galore (Into Mischief) (hip 160)–and Turf Sprint runner-up AG Bullet (Twirling Candy) (hip 183).Also on offer Monday will be Streak of Luck (Old Fashioned) (hip 220), the dam of GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Ted Noffey (Into Mischief), and Trenchtown Cat (Discreet Cat) (hip 227), the dam of Juvenile runner-up Mr. A. P. (American Pharoah).Other entries with Breeders' Cup connections include Summer Sweet (More Than Ready) (hip 161), the dam of GI Breeders' Cup F/M Turf runner-up She Feels Pretty (Karakontie {Jpn}), and her weanling filly by Justify (hip 54). Attabe (Distorted Humor) (hip 188), a half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Nysos (Nyquist) will be offered in foal to Flightline. Signal From Noise (Arrogate), in foal to Gun Runner, is a half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup F/M Sprint runner-up Vahva (Gun Runner).Puca (Big Brown), who sold to John Stewart's Resolute Racing for $2.9 million at the 2023 Keeneland November sale, will be offered not in foal as hip 135. The 13-year-old mare is the dam of GI Kentucky Derby winner Mage (Good Magic), GI Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch (Good Magic), and GI Pennsylvania Derby winner Baeza (McKinzie).The boutique auction will open with an offering of 92 catalogued weanlings. The group includes foals from the first crop of champions Arcangelo, Cody's Wish, Elite Power, Forte, and Up to the Mark, as well as GI Kentucky Derby winner Mage and Derby runner-up Two Phil's. Also among the first-crop sires represented in the catalogue are Grade I winners Annapolis, Arabian Lion, Dr. Schivel, Gunite, Proxy, and Taiba, and Grade I-placed Loggins.Credit for much of the competitive yearling market was given to a tax code offering increased depreciation write-offs, and that incentive carries into the breeding stock sales“Breeders have certainly been rewarded and have gotten–and will continue to receive–some significant funds from their yearling sales,” Browning said. “And the tax incentives that have been in place for the yearlings are also in place for the broodmares and the foals. And–knock on wood–all signs are positive and I would expect a very healthy marketplace in November.” The post Looking for Positive Trends to Continue at Fasig-Tipton November Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
