"We are very excited about the results for racehorses, topped by graded stakes winner and multiple Grade 1 performer Cairo Consort," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales. "It’s gratifying to get such a positive result on such a nice filly, for the sellers and the buyer. We learned it's a bit more difficult to sell broodmares this late in the spring, but the action on the racehorses and yearlings offered was consistent with previous sales. We’re very pleased with those results."
