The recently completed Fasig-Tipton yearling sale saw bright spots with some new buyers and new sires, but the mid- and down-market ranges continued to be spotty, participants said.
Powered by four $100,000+ horses and a low buyback rate, the gross in today’s first session of the Fasig-Tipton fall yearling sale was up 13 percent versus last year.
Trainer Anthony Margotta, Jr. climbed racing’s highest peaks before losing everything to addiction. His comeback continues Saturday, when he sends out Teresa Z in the Delaware Handicap.
Consignors bringing horses to the Fasig-Tipton 2-year-old sale which takes place Monday and Tuesday are hoping for an improved middle of the market.
