Midsummer Flash Sale Produces Sizzling Results  

The Midsummer Flash Sale on Fasig-Tipton Digital ended Thursday afternoon with a 100% clearance rate as both offerings in the boutique two-entry sale sold for gross sales of $830,000. 

Emmanuel (Hip 1), a multiple graded stakes winning son of More Than Ready, sold for $500,000 to trainer Michael Maker.  The five-year-old racing/stallion prospect is a five-time graded stakes winner on turf of nearly $750,000, who also finished third in the Blue Grass S. (G1) on dirt at three.  Emmanuel entered the sale off a fourth-place finish in the United Nations S. (G2) where he had posted the highest Ragozin and Thoro-Graph figures in the race.  He was consigned by WinStar Farm LLC, agent, and was stabled at Saratoga Race Course. 

“We are very pleased with Emmanuel’s sale on Fasig-Tipton Digital,” said Elliott Walden, President/CEO of WinStar Farm.  “The sales process was seamless, and our horse was well marketed and promoted to a diverse group of buyers.  We’re thrilled with the price and happy he is going to a top barn in trainer Michael Maker.” 

Ten minutes later, a 33% Ownership Interest in Iscreamuscream (Hip 2) was hammered down for $330,000 to Agave Racing Stable.   The undefeated three-year-old daughter of Twirling Candy captured the San Clemente H. (G2) in her most recent start on July 20 and is pointing for the Del Mar Oaks (G1) next.   Taylor Made Sales Agency consigned the ownership stake in Iscreamuscream, who is based at Del Mar. 

“This sale was a homerun for our racing syndicate,” said Billy Koch of Little Red Feather Racing.  “Having an outlet like Fasig-Tipton Digital to sell ownership interests in our horses opens a whole new world of opportunity for us.  We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering again with Mark Martinez and Agave Racing as we chase bigger prizes with Iscreamuscream. Hopefully, we will have another Grade 1 winner like Fault!”
