Triple Crown Insider

The two-year-olds in training scene now moves to Palm Meadows, where, on Monday March 26, Fasig-Tipton will conduct The Florida Sale of 2012.  The under-tack show will be held over the Palm Meadows strip from 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 23.  Among the four 2011 G1-winning graduates on this year’s catalogue cover is Union Rags, sold at Palm Meadows last year and one of the leading favorites for the Kentucky Derby (G1).

Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning is very encouraged by indicators from the marketplace so far.

“The conformation and breeze equation is obviously uppermost in most buyers’ minds,” he said, “but there is also a huge premium on quality stallions, pedigree and proven performance.  “Our consignors are bringing a terrific group of juveniles to Palm Meadows.  As for performance, the Thoroughbred Times recently published an analysis which shows that The Florida Sale, over a ten-year-period, is clearly the Number One selected two-year-olds in training sale by percentage of graded stakes-winners and overall stakes-winners.  “If you are looking for superior stakes horses, The Florida Sale is your best shot!”
