“This catalogue is as deep in quality as it is internationally diverse,” continued Browning. “Nearly 80% of the racing and broodmare offerings are either a black-type winner or the dam of a black-type winner, providing buying opportunities at a variety of price levels. I think it's one of the strongest if not the strongest November catalogue we have ever assembled. There is great depth amongst the mares and foals and fillies coming off the racetrack. It is unquestionably the strongest group of weanlings we have ever had, from a quality and quantity standpoint. In the Fasig-Tipton tradition, we will continue to accept quality supplements up until the sale.”
