Top of the May Digital Sale at Fasig-Tipton is MGSW Forbidden Kingdom
Fasig-Tipton's May Digital Sale concluded Tuesday night with 75 horses sold, a $310,000 topping, and a $3,252,100 gross. Forbidden Kingdom (American Pharoah) (hip 21), a 5-year-old MGSW & GISP consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent for MyRacehorse and Spendthrift Farm, was the top-seller. Legacy Ranch purchased the horse as a potential for racing or stallion.
With 689 registered bidders and a 75% clearance rate, the 75 sold horses brought in an average of $43,361.
“It was another strong sale across the board,” noted Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales. “Compared to last year's May sale, we doubled the number offered, more than doubled the gross, and saw a healthy rise in the average price. I'm very pleased with the results.”
Man Among Men (War Front) (hip 29), a May 5 Santa Anita allowance winner, sold as a racing/stallion prospect for $220,000 to Howell Wynne from the consignment of Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent for MyRacehorse and Spendthrift Farm, and Such Sounds (Cairo Prince) (hip 6), bred to Constitution for 2025 for her first foal and sold for $250,000 to Machmer Hall from the consignment of River Oak Farm, agent for Forever Spring Farm et al.
