?q=100)
A share in breakout freshman sire Complexity will be offered at public auction during the upcoming Fasig-Tipton Saratoga selected yearling sale, the company announced Thursday.
Complexity stands at Airdrie Stud, which will handle the share as consignor. The share will be offered at the start of the yearling sale's second and final session, at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
Through July 24, Complexity leads not only the freshman sire earnings and winners list, but also the overall North American 2-year-old sires list by both those metrics. He is the sire of 12 winners from 18 starters overall, including Grade 3 Sanford Stakes winner Mo Plex, Victoria Stakes winner Mensa, and Astoria Stakes third-place finisher French Horn.
“I don’t believe we’ve ever had an Airdrie stallion get off to a more promising start,” Airdrie president Bret Jones said in a release. “Complexity was a brilliantly talented racehorse and he has been making the case since his first foals hit the ground that he could be an equally successful sire.”
Complexity, by Maclean's Music, was himself a Grade 1-winning juvenile, taking the Champagne Stakes. He went on to win the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap at 4.
