Fasig-Tipton Saratoga select yearling sale on the peak of success.
The renowned Thoroughbred horse’s auction house, Fasig-Tipton Company. Inc originated in 1898, found by William B. Fasig and Edward A Tipton.
The company's headquarter is located in North America, with offices in New York, Kentucky, Lexington, Texas, Saratoga Springs, Florida, Ocala, Elkton, Maryland and Grand Prairie.
Back in May 2008, the company was bought by Synergy Investments Ltd, a Dubai based company.
Fasig-Tipton Saratoga's yearling sale is held at Madison Avenue, located in Saratoga Springs, New York.
The show is presented in a small auditorium, named, Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion.
There is a long walking ring, where one by one the stallions march by the guests and shoppers.
The prestigious event is scheduled every year in the month of August. The people present at the sale have reservations made in advance and apart from them, people who have no reservations are only allowed to sit on the ground, within the pavilion, to view
the whole event.
The local public can sit inside the pavilion, when the Open Sale is held, which shows a gesture of friendliness.
In 2011, the sale was scheduled on the 8th and 9th of August, in which 160 horses were participating.
The catalogue of the sale consists of five international Group 1 winners, which includes Japanese winner, A Shine Forward, English classic star, Blue Bunting, and Plum Pretty, the winner of Kentucky Oaks.
Boyd Browning, the president of Fasig-Tipton, was thrilled by this year’s catalogue, because he had around 10 prominent sires for the yearling sale, and many new people were expected by him to join the consignors.
These new faces have played a major role, in the quality and success of the company.
After the successful ending of the first session of the sale, the next sale was scheduled on the 13th and 14th of August, with 40 more yearlings than the previous sale included in the catalogue, expected to bring 23% growth.
There will be 14 more consignors, representing the spa sale, which includes Vinery Sales and agents with huge consignments.
The company has achieved a major increase in the revenue generated through this yearling sale for New York’s local thoroughbred industry.
The amazing catalogue, which consists of high quality sires, has helped the New York Bred program to gain the breeders' confidence.
