Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga Select sale had long solidified its status as one of the nation’s premiere yearling sales long before the remarkable 2015 exploits of its graduates. Four alumni of the sale took home Eclipse Awards last year and it ranked at the top of major North American yearling sales by percentage of Grade 1 winners, Graded Stakes Winners, and Stakes Winners produced from horses sold. Centennial’s own Unified, our most recent purchase from the sale, has been a key success story for Fasig-Tipton, with his picture gracing the back of the sales catalogue and our silks displayed at the pavilion’s entrance. We returned to the sales grounds looking for the next big horse to carry the Centennial Farms colors, with Dr. Stephen Carr and Paula Parsons leading the way. Their extensive search of the sale’s colts for prospects who embodied our ideal of an elite athlete with a stallion’s pedigree led us to a truly special prospect. Hip 71, a Ghostzapper colt out of the Vindication mare Lady Hillingdon checked all the right boxes.
We are thrilled to offer the opportunity to share in the future of this outstanding individual. Learn more about him and contact us any time if you’re interesting in joining the partnership to make our dreams your dreams!
