Hip 123, an Into Mischief filly, brings $800,000 at the 2021 Fasig-Tipton July Yearlings Sale
The summer yearling sales season kicked off Tuesday at Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Ky., with a resurgent edition of Fasig-Tipton s July Sale of selected yearlings. The sale s average and median were well-placed historically, and the highest since the benchmarks set in 2007.
“It was a strong start to the 2021 yearling sales season,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “We were very encouraged when we went to the farms to inspect yearlings by the quality of horses we were seeing, and certainly the two-year-old sales were encouraging, so we had a lot of optimism. I don t think any of us [hoped] to surpass the 2019 numbers… so to be over 2019 is very, very, very encouraging.”
