EQB leading buyer of yearlings at KY auction (click here for more details)
Two news items here:
1) EQB was the leading buyer of yearlings
at the recent Fasig-Tipton Kentucky yearling auction,
(according to the Thoroughbred Times
July 24th issue, page 12).
Patti Miller signed as agent for 7 yearlings totaling $855,000,
though none were among the sale’s most expensive.
“We felt we cherry picked that group pretty effectively.”
she said.
2) Titanium,
a 9 yr old magnificent grey colt by Shuailaan,
was selected for the short-list to represent USA
at Kentucky World Equine Games this September.
This Olympic equestrian sports achievement is
his second career, having been an EQB purchase
as a youngster for racing, which,
despite his superior athletic build and abilities,
he did not prefer.
Thank God he’s found his niche
and a second career,
and we wish him the very best of luck.
