SARATOGA OFFERS BOUTIQUE YEARLING MARKET

If the massive Keeneland September auction is the Wal-Mart of yearling sales, then Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga select auction is the stylish little boutique. There are only 195 horses in the Saratoga catalog, and some of their pedigrees are quite fancy. Horses by such top sires as A.P. Indy, Distorted Humor, and Storm Cat are scheduled to be offered during the sale’s two-night run, Aug. 4 and 5, in New York.

“Saratoga is a very special auction,” said Lincoln Collins, an international bloodstock adviser. “There are a lot of people who enjoy the atmosphere, and they will be here. So far, I’ve seen a lot of nice horses, and I expect them to sell well even though the general economy has got to be a concern. At some point, the overproduction of Thoroughbreds is going to come home to roost this year, but I doubt that’s going to be the case here at Saratoga because all of the horses are so good.”
