While the numbers may not show it in black and white, the 2014 edition of the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale – the last mixed auction on the calendar – indicated that the bloodstock market remained stable after recovering during 2012-2013.
Given the differences in format and content between last year’s Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale and the this year’s edition, the figures for Sunday’s opening session were expected to look very different, and for the most part they did.
A year after the dispersal of Eugene Melnyk’s Winding Oaks Farm helped drive the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale to big gains, the sales company will follow up with an expanded catalog in 2014.

A second session will follow Monday at 10 a.m. The two-day format will mark a return to normal for the Kentucky winter mixed sale, which regularly featured two sessions through 2008, after which the sale was reduced to a single day.
