“She is a really nice filly, but we wanted to showcase the stallion, so we brought her out here so the breeders could see what Omaha Beach is capable of doing. (The price) was probably a little bit beyond what we were thinking… I am really pleased with how all of our first-year stallions have done.”
- Ned Toffey, Spendthrift Farm, Breeder of Hip 90 $410,000 Omaha Beach Filly
“We enjoy the format that The July Sale offers. It allows for a realistic timeframe to analyze the horses offered.”
- Phil Bauer, Trainer for Rigney Racing, Purchaser of $320,000 Ghostzapper filly“The July Sale provides buyers with our first opportunity of the year to look at a select group of yearlings. This group is generally mature and has likely shown a level of precocity already that has landed them a spot in this sale. The success of this sale in particular with horses like Boardroom, Chocolate Gelato, Kimari, and Manny Wah gives you great optimism that you can go in there and find a few good ones for your racing stable.”
“We’ve been active participants as both buyers and sellers at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale. The sale acts as an important barometer that sets the tone for the upcoming yearling sales. The yearlings catalogued in July are top athletes with long pedigrees.”
“The good ones are standing out and separating themselves. It’s a very good sale. There are a lot of people here. There are horses for just about everybody.”
- Matt Weinmann, Equine Analysis, Agent for Lynnhaven Racing
- Jon Green, DJ Stable, Purchaser of $600,000 Sale Topper in 2022
- Donato Lanni, a Leading July Buyer in 2022
