The fall and winter mixed sales provided plenty of reason for optimism in the Thoroughbred industry, so it was fitting that the mixed sale season closed on a high note on Monday in Lexington at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale.

Fasig-Tipton Co. reported a 63.1% increase in total sales compared with the 2011 edition, albeit from a 31.1% larger catalog, as well as gains in average price and median.

The results followed suit with earlier Kentucky mixed sales this season, including the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky selected fall mixed sale, Keeneland November breeding stock sale, and Keeneland January mixed sale, each of which posted double-digit increases across the board.

Fasig-Tipton reported 270 horses as sold for $4,601,800, compared with 183 horses bringing $2,821,500 in 2011.

Average price improved 10.5% to $17,044, and median rose 5.3% to $6,000. The buy-back rate also was a positive indicator at 22%, which was almost identical to 22.8% in 2011

Bluegrass Hall purchased the two highest-priced horses of the sale, including sale topper Fancy Prancer. Consigned by Paramount Sales, agent, the 13-year-old Bertrando mare was purchased by Bluegrass Hall for $200,000 in foal to Bluegrass Cat.

A multiple stakes winner on the racetrack, Fancy Prancer is the dam of four stakes winners among five winners from as many starters.

Bluegrass Hall also purchased Misty Daylight, a seven-year-old Seeking Daylight mare, for $185,000 from the consignment of James B. Keogh’s Grovendale, agent. Misty Daylight was offered in foal to dual French classic winner Lope de Vega. She is a half sister to stakes winner Quiet Dance, dam of 2005 Horse of the Year Saint Liam and three other stakes winners.

Paramount consigned three of the six top-priced horses of the sale and led all consignors by total receipts with 18 horses sold for $667,900. Bluegrass Hall purchased four horses for $425,000 to lead all buyers.
