Fasig-Tipton Press Release
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Fasig-Tipton has catalogued 222 selected yearlings for the 104th Saratoga Sale, to be held on Monday and Tuesday, August 4 and 5, in Saratoga Springs, New York. Sessions will begin each evening at 6:30 pm in the Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion.
“We have assembled another outstanding group of yearlings for Saratoga, the type of quality that buyers expect to find at the number one ranked yearling sale by percentage of Grade 1 winners,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning.
The Saratoga Sale is once again the top ranked major North American yearling sale by percentage of Grade 1 winners and graded stakes winners according to statistics recently released by The BloodHorse MarketWatch.
The sale has produced six individual grade one winners in the last year. Recent sales graduates include Eclipse Champion and Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Sierra Leone; Journalism, winner of this year’s Preakness S.; Seize the Grey (2024 Preakness S. and Pennsylvania Derby); Tappan Street (2025 Florida Derby); Kingsbarns (2024 Stephen Foster S.); and And One More Time (2024 Natalma S.)
The sale also has the distinction of producing the last three Preakness Stakes winners in Journalism (2025), Seize the Grey (2024), and National Treasure (2023).
In addition to success at the Grade 1 level, Saratoga has produced 11 additional individual graded stakes winners in the last 12 months in Ballerina d’Oro, Barnes, Battle of Normandy, Clicquot, Hall of Fame, Hope Road, Integration, Major Dude, Owen Almighty, Rocket Can, and Ticker Tape Home.
“The depth of quality found at Saratoga is second-to-none,” added Browning. “From catalogues of just 200 or more yearlings, Saratoga has produced six individual Grade 1 winners in the last year as well as three consecutive Preakness winners.”
The catalogue may now be viewed online, and will also be available via the equineline sales catalogue app. Print catalogues are now available from all Fasig-Tipton offices.
