Ben Bernhard will be the first to tell you that he is very much new to racing, but he does bring something unique to his jobs as the CEO and co-founder of Stable Analytics and as vice president of Pin Oak Stud, a Thoroughbred farm near Versailles, Ky., owned by his parents, Jim and Dana. The couple bought their first racehorse, Grade 1 winner Geaux Rocket Ride, as a yearling in 2021, and purchased Pin Oak the following year.

As I sit down to write this final installment of Teddy Spaghetti’s road to the Thoroughbred Makeover, it is with great pride for how much he and our team accomplished there; huge appreciation for the family that allowed me the opportunity to take both their new 3-year-old OTTB and their 16-year-old daughter along for the ride; and a little bit of nostalgia that it’s over.

Fasig-Tipton’s November Sale, the company’s prestigious breeding stock sale, takes place Nov. 3 in Lexington with some of the highest-quality weanlings, broodmares, and broodmare or racing prospects in North America on offer.

Another Breeders’ Cup is in the books, but the Thoroughbred calendar never really lets down and this upcoming week is highlighted by a quick turnaround as NYRA and FOX Sports bring North Americans coverage of Australia’s signature race and America’s Best Racing presents an on-site livestream of one of the year’s most anticipated horse auctions – both on Monday, Nov. 3.

Electric, bursting at the seams, remarkable, and fast and furious are just a sprinkling of the vivid descriptions for Fasig-Tipton’s November Sale printed over the years in the pages of BloodHorse magazine. 

Billed decades ago as the “Night of the Stars” sale in the afterglow of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, the November sale has morphed into much more than a Thoroughbred breeding stock auction. It is an event. Come for the “stars,” savor the fireworks.
