Yearlings at Fasig-Tipton

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.

This Justify filly out of Battle Girl sold for $475,000.
This Into Mischief colt out of Indian Miss did not sell.
This Candy Ride colt out of Mighty Eros also did not sell.

This Good Magic colt out of Lady in Shades sold for $225,000.
This Tonalist colt out of Lizzy’s Fun, who got a little frisky in the auction ring, sold for $57,000.
This photo shows the other side of the Finney Pavilion, which has artwork, mostly equine in nature, hanging on the walls. This Dialed In filly out of Mary Grace sold for $42,000.
This Candy Ride filly out of Mezah sold for $55,000.
I captured some video footage of the auction as well. This footage will be part of a larger project about thoroughbreds I am working on.
