Long Pour entered the sale off a win in state-bred allowance company on June 7 in which he recorded a career-high 89 Beyer.“I've always been a big believer that clearance rate is a strong sign of a healthy market and I think today's results reflect that,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton Director of Digital Sales. “We went 15 for 17 on broodmares with foals and I continue to believe that is going to be a big market in the future. Horses of racing age and racing/broodmare prospects were strong and that isn't surprising at this time of year.”Other top hips included:Ultimate Authority (Hip 14), a racing/broodmare prospect by Practical Joke, sold for $170,000 to America 250 from the consignment of Gainesway, agent. A multiple winner with a placing in last year's GII Santa Maria S., Ultimate Authority has earned $152,970 to date.Aquiver (Hip 21), a broodmare offered with her 2026 Olympiad colt at foot, sold for $130,000 to Springwood LLC from the consignment of Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, agent. The Olympiad colt foaled Apr. 22 in Kentucky is the Ghostzapper mare's first foal, and she was offered in foal to current leading first-crop sire Life Is Good.“Overall, I think the market was very fair and the Californians showed up in droves for the second phase of the Harris Farms reduction,” Aaron said. “We had more than 1,000 registered bidders for this sale and the gross was two-and-a-half times the size it was last year, which is just unbelievable.”The post Long Pour Tops Fasig-Tipton June Digital Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
