The Fasig-Tipton Midlantic fall yearling sale for 2025 takes place Sept. 30 in Timonium. “Post time” is 11:00 a.m.

There are 225 numbered hips in the sale prior to outs, and the event has a much more Midlantic flavor than the company’s much larger May two-year-old sale. While that sale’s offerings tend in a more national direction — plenty of Kentucky-breds — in this one the top two home states by hips entered are Maryland (115 hips) and Pennsylvania (39).

Here, prior to outs, is the fall yearling sale by the numbers:
