Fasig-Tipton's annual Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age Sale will take place Tuesday in Timonium, MD beginning at 11:00 a.m. A sizable catalog of 401 head has been assembled this year, including 232 broodmares and broodmare prospects, weanlings and yearlings in addition to a sizable horses of racing age supplement.
Last year's topper was $195,000 racing or broodmare prospect Fly On Angel (Palace Malice), winner of the GIII Charles Town Oaks earlier that term. She was purchased by Cypress Creek LLC and consigned by Northview Stallion Station, agent for Joseph Besecker (Reduction of Racing Stock). A Besecker-owned horse of racing age offering also topped the 2019 auction, and the Pennsylvania-based owner's holdings figure to feature prominently in this year's results as well.
A total of 97 horses, mostly racing prospects but also broodmares, weanlings and a yearling, are consigned by Northview on Besecker's behalf.
The 2020 sale, which was consolidated with the Saratoga Fall Sale due to the pandemic, saw a total of 182 horses change hands for gross receipts of $2,345,600 at an average of $12,888 and median of $5,000.
