Fasig-Tipton, which kicks the season off with a flurry of activity, is one of three major auction houses in the United States, along with Keeneland and the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. Between them, they will host eight brick-and-mortar yearling sales in 2025, in a schedule unchanged from last year. Here is a look at the calendar.
Between Fasig-Tipton's two sales in upstate New York, the Saratoga selected yearling sale on Aug. 4-5 and the New York-bred yearling sale on Aug. 10-11, the company has cataloged 526 young horses to be offered in a prestigious marketplace. Mining the offerings to find jewels that fit their respective programs will be the challenge of some of the top owners, trainers, and bloodstock agents in the world.
