Mizdirection among stars to sell at Fasig-Tipton's November
Sale
 |
| Mizdirection remained perfect on Santa Anita's downhill when repeating in the Turf Sprint
(Breeders' Cup Ltd.) |
Fasig-Tipton will conduct the November Sale at its Newtown Paddocks
headquarters near Lexington, Kentucky, on Monday. The firm's premier mixed sale
features 222 offerings, with the single session to begin at 4 p.m. (EST).
The auction is redolent with Breeders' Cup flavor, as exemplified by MIZDIRECTION
(Mizzen Mast), who became the first repeat winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf
Sprint (G1) on Saturday.
AUTHENTICITY (Quiet American) tours the ring on the heels of her third in
Friday's Distaff (G1), while SUMMER APPLAUSE (Harlan's Holiday) and GREAT HOT
(Orientate) were fourth and seventh, respectively, in the Filly & Mare Sprint
(G1).
There was a significant addition to the catalog on Sunday: a weanling
half-sister to newly-crowned Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) star Mucho Macho Man
(Macho Uno), sired by Tapit. Cataloged as Hip No. 222, she is stabled in Barn
3G.
"This is a unique opportunity for buyers to acquire an outstanding filly by
one of the world's leading sires in Tapit within 48 hours of her half-brother
winning the Breeders' Cup Classic," Fasig Tipton President Boyd Browning said.

Mare Sprint; and Clenor, unplaced in the Juvenile Fillies Turf.

"There are some international 'first of their kind' situations among the
breeding stock on offer," Browning said upon the release of the catalog. "Last year's weanlings sold
exceptionally well, which has allowed us to recruit 67 selected foals this year,
with many by stallions you find at the head of national sire listings and sales
statistics. This is going to be a very exciting and productive sale, and
the supplemental entries will add to an already sterling catalog."
Fasig-Tipton will once again offer its popular "Enhanced
Catalog," which may be accessed via mobile phone, tablet or desktop computer. The
Enhanced Catalog provides updated catalog pages and updated Daily Racing
Form past performances as they occur, as well as race replays, news stories,
photos and statistics.
