One Liner among horses entered in Fasig-Tipton sale

Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 152 horses for its summer sale of selected horses of racing age, set for the evening of July 9 in Lexington, Ky. The catalog is expected to change substantially because Fasig-Tipton will review and accept late nominations up until sale time.

The online catalog, available now, is enhanced with features including an assessment of each horse by the Daily Racing Form’s national handicapper, Mike Watchmaker.

Stakes performers cataloged include One Liner, winner of the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes last year. The Into Mischief colt, trained by Todd Pletcher for WinStar Farm, China Horse Club, SF Racing, and Head of Plains Partners, finished second in the Grade 3 Pimlico Special last month and most recently was ninth in the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap.

The Fasig-Tipton sale of horses of racing age was inaugurated in 2013. Last year, Grade 2 winner Distinta topped the auction, selling for $600,000 to Medallion Racing.

“Since this sale was first held in 2013, sale graduates have made nearly 5,000 starts and earned $29 million,” Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning said in a release. “The sale has also produced an impressive 28 percent stakes horses and more than 50 stakes wins.”
