The Enhanced Catalogue, featuring Virtual Inspection Videos, for the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase may be viewed online. Held at Fasig-Tipton's Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Kentucky Sept. 9 and 10, the sale will begin each day at 10 am.
The Enhanced Catalogue provides an individual webpage, which feature “Virtual Inspection Videos” (walking videos). Videos may be “favorited” either in the index, or on the video itself, to create a short list of hips that can then be shared via Email, Facebook, or Twitter. Buyers may also utilize the index to filter the catalogue by sire, dam, consignor, or region foaled. The index will generate a “short list” of hips that matches the buyer's desired criteria. When a user sorts by consignor, they will be taken to a consignor branded page and the index will offer a “Consignor All Show.”
The Enhanced Catalogue also offers “Consignor Insights,” located next to the walking videos. Consignor Insights offer information traditionally found in a consignor's “front man” book. Other features offered include conformation photos, stallion register information and a pedigree updates tab.
“When designing the upgraded Enhanced Catalogue, our goal was to provide the information and tools needed by buyers who cannot attend a sale in person,” said Max Hodge, Fasig-Tipton's Vice President of Client Services. “The Enhanced Catalogue provides valuable resources that complement the on-site buyer experience.”
Fasig-Tipton will continue to add Virtual Inspection Videos and Consignor Insights in the coming days as they are submitted.
