Fasig-Tipton's October Digital Sale Brings $6.7 Million for 287 Horses

Fasig-Tipton wrapped its October Digital Sale on Wednesday afternoon with a gross of $6,729,000. The sale was run as a pair of online sessions, the earlier one concluding Tuesday and the second a day later. Across both, 287 horses changed hands. The top price belonged to Ada Clare, who led the catalog when the final bids were tallied. For the American turf, a digital auction of this size is a reminder that the sales ring now extends well beyond the pavilion, with buyers following the bidding from wherever they happen to be. The numbers speak to steady appetite for bloodstock in the autumn trade, and to a consignor base willing to bring stock to a screen rather than a stall.
