YEARLING SALES RIDE JUVENILE WAVE
By Nicole Russo
  On paper, Fasig-Tipton is
solely responsible for develop-
ing momentum in the yearling
sales market, as the auction
company hosts the first three
sales of the North American
season over the summer. But
some of the momentum may
have actually been built up
earlier this year by all three
major auction houses and with
the help of some of last year’s
sale yearlings.
  The formal 2-year-old sales
season in North America ran
from March through June
and included three sales each
hosted by Fasig-Tipton and the
Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. and
one at Keeneland – all of which
also host yearling sales. The
juvenile market was outstand-
ing this year, surpassing $200
million in aggregate gross sales
for the first time, with a number
of sales led by record-priced
offerings.
  Pinhookers, perhaps feeling
bullish, can now begin restock-
ing their benches at the year-
ling sales, hoping to continue
their success in 2020. Mean-                                                                                                            Fasig-Tipton Photo
