The two day Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Selected Yearlings Sale concluded on Tuesday night with double digit increases across the board.
The sale ended with 145 yearlings sold for US$46,755,000, up from last year's gross of US$33,284,000 for 114 horses.
The average of US$322,448 was up 10.4 per cent from a year ago, while the median was up 5.3 per cent.
Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning Jr. said. "It would probably have been unrealistic coming into the sale to have dreamt or to have hoped to be up 40% in gross and to have the average increase 10% and the median 5%...it was a tremendous horse sale overall."
"I'm very rarely speechless following a sale and I am almost speechless tonight,"
Tuesday's session produced the auction's third seven-figure sale when Godolphin's John Ferguson went to
$1.4 million to secure a colt by Street Cry x Rcuandry (lot 168).
Rcuandry is a daughter of A.P. Indy, she’s a half-sister to Gr1 winner Honey Ryder, Gr3 winner and Listed producer Cuando Puede, and stakes winner and producer Cuando.
The Street Cry colt had been offered as a weanling through the Fasig-Tipton November sale but the vendor passed him in at $285,000.
