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.
Breeders’ Cup World Championships week has arrived, and media coverage of horse racing will reach a crescendo surpassed only by Kentucky Derby week and occasionally the lead-in weeks to the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. The 42nd annual Breeders’ Cup, set for Friday, Oct. 31, and Saturday, Nov. 1, will draw a good amount of national and international attention and in terms of quality racing, the two-day event is unmatched.
