I recently photographed some yearlings for auction at Fasig-Tipton in my hometown of Saratoga Springs, NY. Since Saratoga is known for its world-famous racetrack, it should come as no surprise that there is a thoroughbred auction house in town. I previously blogged about weanlings at Fasig-Tipton last fall.
First, lets look at the yearlings that were auctioned at the Saratoga Sale on August 8 and 9.
