“There is great traffic on the sales grounds. We give a lot of credit to Fasig-Tipton for the recruitment here. I think we’ve been the busiest we’ve ever seen at Saratoga.”
- Allaire Ryan, Lane’s End
“It’s so hard to buy them here. I was swinging for the fences and finally got one… I bought a couple, but I missed several… I have never seen so many people at the sale.”
- Robert Clay, Grandview Equine
“We knew we were bringing some good horses, but it certainly exceeded our wildest dreams… We are so thrilled.”
- Reed Ringler, Don Alberto, seller of 3 yearlings for $1,000,000+ each
“Fasig has done a great job assembling the horses and the buyers, which makes it really hard to buy the ones you want. To be honest, the strength of the market has blown me away.”
