A 2-year-old child has not been appreciated by Street Sense (hip 1) topped the first phase of the late Glen Todd’s Legacy of Dispersal — conducted on Fasig-Tipton’s Digital Platform — when it sold for $200,000 to NJP Racing. Named Adivathe dark bay filly is out of Black Diamond Girl (Spin hard), a half-sister with the winner graded Big Truck (Hook and Ladder) and graded Logical Way (Freud). It was purchased by Todd’s North American Thoroughbred Horse Company for $230,000 during the Keeneland sale last September.
Adiva worked up to two coats at the Washington-based Pegasus Training Center, which deposited scattered horses.
“She is a rock star. She acted like it and trained like it and she sold like that,” said Pegasus Training Center trainer and equine operations director Mike Puhich. “I’m glad she sold for what I thought she was worth. I’m afraid that the less exposure she has, the more people might not see it, but everyone who has seen her in person and seen her online knows that she looks quite special. She is a very classy person. One of the nicest things we broke at the ranch. “
NJP Racing also bought the second highest priced product of the distributed system, the 5 year old mare won many shares The Princess of Cairo (Prince Cairo), for $115,000, as well as an underrated 3-year-old gelding Call me fast (Dialed) for $60,000. All three will join Puhich’s Kentucky chain.
“It was a collaborative team,” Puhich said of NJP Racing. “They come from all over – a few are from New Zealand – and they are our big customers. They will come to our department in Kentucky and will be in my barn at Churchill Downs. It’s great to be able to keep a part of Glen’s legacy going. ”
Rounding off the trio of six-figure offerings at the scattering is Five Star General (Distorted comedy). The 6-year-old, multi-stakes and multi-ranking winner, was purchased for $110,000 by Kenny Alhadeff’s Elttaes Stable.
In a week-long auction conducted online by Fasig-Tipton, 10 race-age horses, 14 2-year-olds in training and seven stallions were sold without reserve. The team grossed $1,197,500, a median of $38,629 and a median of $24,000.
“We are delighted with the results,” said Puhich. “Fasig-Tipton did an incredible job getting it out there. This digital sale is the wave of the future. Unbelievable. We’ve got people from all over the country calling for interest and bids. It was a shocking surprise.”
Todd, a longtime owner, breeder and mainstay of the British Columbia thoroughbred livestock industry, died March 27.
“It was bittersweet,” Puhich said of distraction. “Mr. Todd is a very good friend and one of our best customers. We are very happy for the family because the horses have done so well, but in other ways circumstances just rolled him. Go “.
A total of 250 bidders registered put out 1,305 bids, with each horse receiving 42 bids on average.
“We had four properties open for people to make appointments and come in and we were fully booked for four days in a row,” Puhich said of the pre-sale interest. “There were a lot of people from Canada and locals, but we got interest and calls from all over the country. The way Fasig-Tipton outlined for us and suggested how we do the videos, the platform we were using took it to another level.”
Fasig-Tipton Digital Sales Manager Leif Aaron is also pleased with the results of the decentralization.
Aaron said: “We deeply appreciate Glen Todd’s family for entrusting Fasig-Tipton Digital with their father’s legacy. “We were able to move quickly to sell a lot of horses in a short time with very strong results. Mike Puhich of Pegasus Training Center did a great job helping to facilitate the sale. It’s a win for all parties. ”
