Harness: Lexington Selected Mixed Sale returns

Lexington Selected Sales Co. announced today (4/26) that its mixed sale has returned for 2024 and will be held Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Fasig-Tipton Newtown Paddocks.

The sale follows the company’s annual Selected Yearling Sale, which wraps up Friday night, and comes on the eve of the Red Mile’s 132nd Kentucky Futurity.

“The mixed sale is a logical extension of the yearling market, and all the domestic and international buyers in town always makes for an exciting venue and a great time to sell,” said co-manager David Reid. “It further enhances what’s come to be called ‘The Lexington Experience.’”

Reid also mentioned that owners and trainers shouldn’t overlook the fact that selling quality racehorses and race fillies in Lexington creates what he called “instant capital” to help cover the expense of yearlings that were purchased just days before.

The company’s last mixed sale, held in 2022, posted a racehorse average of more than $35,000 that consisted of In-Foal Mares, Racehorses, Weanlings and Stallion Shares.

Co-manager Bruce Brinkeroff agreed the sale’s a natural fit. He noted the beautiful Fasig-Tipton facility is an ideal location for the event and the auction crew is already in place to accommodate an extra date, and that it’s an easy “ship in and sell” for consignors.

Consignors may enter by calling the Lexington office at (859) 255-8431 or the New York office at (914) 773-7777.
