Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2yo sale: By the numbers

The Biz
May 19, 2025

The rejiggered and delayed Fasig-Tipton Midlantic two-year-olds in training sale kicks off Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in Timonium.

In a change from prior years, it will be conducted in a single day. While the original plan followed prior years — a two-day sale Monday and Tuesday — rainy weather and issues with the racetrack at the Big T forced the company to move breezes back, in some cases to Monday, necessitating the change.

Last year’s similarly sized sale did nearly $35 million in business, and sales participants have said some very nice horses are on the grounds, so hopes are high.

As we always do, we asked… how many greys are there, anyway? Plus, other probing questions. Here’s the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic two-year-old sale by the numbers:

HIPS BY COLOR

COLOR	HIPS
Gray/roan	60
Chestnut	119
Dark bay or brown	140
Bay	264

VEKOMA	15
PRACTICAL JOKE	13
MITOLE	12
BEAU LIAM	12

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF	11

Prior to outs… Yaupon’s oldest are two this year, and his two-year-ols are averaging nearly $250,000 at sales… The same basic facts are true for Charlatan, as well, though his sales two-year-olds are just above $250k average… These are the sires with 10 or more hips on offer; another 129 sires are represented…
