Q & A WITH LEIF AARONON THE GROWTH
OF FLASH SALESClick here for our chat with Leif Aaron on Cloudy Dancer andthe growth of the Fasig-Tipton Digital platform | ThoroStride
Fasig-Tipton Digital has been hitting the mark with flash sales
as of late. While the auction house is selective when it comes topicking out the right kind of horse to offer in these exclusive
auctions, the two flash sales that they've conducted so far thisyear have been shining success stories for the sellers and for
Fasig-Tipton.
Mensa, the first 2-year-old winner for his freshman sireComplexity, set a record as the most expensive offering to sell
on Fasig-Tipton Digital when he was purchased by John
Stewart's Resolute Bloodstock for $740,000 on Apr. 29. Last
week, Cloudy Dancer (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) became thesubject of a second flash sale after her son Shareholder (NotThis Time) won the G2 Norfolk Stakes at the Royal Ascot
meeting. The 8-year-old mare sold on Friday, June 28 for$430,000 to David Hutson.
The TDN is in the process of launching a new weekly podcast,
The Racing Business Hour. Hosted by Bill Finley and Katie
Petrunyak, the show will focus on news in racing that has adirect impact on businesses within the industry. As part of ourpilot episode, we brought in Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital
Sales Leif Aaron to discuss the growth of flash sales within thedigital sales arena. Click here to watch the full segment. Cont. p3

Q & A with Leif Aaron, cont.

Leif Aaron in 2022 | Fasig-Tipton

So there's a huge emailing list we have and we use the TDN to
get the word out. Getting this in front of the people that we
think need to have it is easy, but when you take a guy like Mr.
Hutson who hasn't been as active as he had been in the past,none of us would have expected him to be the purchaser of thehorse. So that's kind of the beauty of digital is that it's bringing in
a whole new segment of the market that we're not expecting.
We have our expectations of the buyers that will come to thesales, but when you go digital, we've had a whole other group ofpeople come in that have never done business with
Fasig-Tipton. So it's exciting to see growth in the auction
business in general, which is great for everyone.
TDN: We've all grown so accustomed to the digital sales
arena, but it was only a little over two years ago that you
launched Fasig-Tipton Digital. What have you learned and how
has the platform evolved since you first started?
LA: We have taken baby steps and learned the best way to set
the catalogues up with what is going to sell during certain timesof the year. We've gotten to the point now where we know it's
hard to sell a broodmare or broodmare prospect in June if shedoesn't have an update. In general, mindframes are starting tomove towards racehorses. I would have told you in the
beginning that I think young stock--weanlings andyearlings--would never be able to be sold online. They would
always be in person. But now we're seeing a boom of thosekinds of horses being sold online.
It has evolved at a very rapid pace. I mean, exponential
growth. We've already sold more horses this year than we didlast year. When we first started doing it, it was about how often
can we have a sale with a critical mass of horses? Now we don't
have a choice. Cont.

WEDNESDAY • JULY 3, 2024

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 11 • THETDN.COM

Q & A with Leif Aaron, cont.
If we don't have a sale, people are saying, 'Why aren't you
having a sale this month?' Which is a blessing for us, there's no
doubt about that.
The whole point in doing this all along was to offer our clients
another avenue to sell horses and to make it more liquid. I thinkfrom the sellers to the buyers to us, it has been beneficial foreveryone involved and I think that's why it is working so well.
We have the highest average in digital sales in the world. We
also have the highest clearance rate. I think the thing I'm mostproud of this year is that we've boasted a 90% clearance rate
and we've sold over 500 head of horses. There is just not
another segment of the market that is as strong as that. I think
when you do things that are of benefit to your client, that's why
it works. This was put out here for them to use and they have.
We're very appreciative of that and I think the clients are too. I
have a lot of people that are returning customers.
TDN: So now you have monthly digital sales, flash sales, andof course the Aold school@ in-person sales. If you're
approaching an owner about potentially selling through FasigTipton, under what circumstances are you going torecommend a flash sale, a monthly digital sale, or waiting until
the next in-person sale comes around?
LA: So I'll say this: flash sales are extremely difficult. It's very
difficult to get a huge update no matter who you are. To get thathorse winning the Norfolk like he did, to look like he could
possibly be one of the best 2-year-olds in Europe, that's hard toget. It's even harder to find an owner that is realistic about what
the value of the horse may be. So we've been approached quite
a few times about different flash sales where owners had
astronomical expectations, but that's the one thing for me that's
so important is if you do a flash sale, it has to work. Cont.

Q & A with Leif Aaron, cont.
That's a lot of pressure, but if we put up flash sales and they
RNA every time, no one is going to return to that. So for us, it's
getting that recipe right of a huge update, a realistic owner anda buying base that is willing to participate. That's why we haveso few of them is because all of those buttons have to bepressed in order for us to take that task on and that's why theones we've had have been so successful.
When it comes to deciding between a flash sale and a monthly
sale, you know when you have a flash sale horse. It's a huge
update and it doesn't come around that often. With the monthly
digital sales, it depends on the time of year. Right now, I would
say you want any racehorse you can put online. With our July
Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale coming up, a lot of people
feel more comfortable selling in that arena and that's great. I'm
glad that Fasig-Tipton has options for people to choose fromgoing in person to going digital.

AWe are excited to feature these two impressive entries in ourinaugural sale as Inglis Digital USA,@ said CEO Liza Hendriks. ATheglobal demand for both buying and selling has been substantial,
highlighting the international appeal of these two mares.
AThey are the first of many high-quality listings to come, and
we look forward to showcasing more in our July Sale and future
sales.@The 6-year-old Hazelbrook, carrying her first foal, won the2022 GIII Hendrie Stakes and GIII Ontario Fashion Stakes before
earning the Soveriegn Award that season as Canada's top female
sprinter.
AHazelbrook is a very commercial physical, balanced, andstrong. Looking deeper into her race record, you will see that
she had tremendous raw ability; she was a champion sprinter.
She ran a five and a half Rogozin, which would match many
Grade I horses,@ said Tom Ryan. ABreeding a mare of her ability
to a stallion with no limitations in Justify made perfect sense tome. Speed and versatility crossed with the high cruising speed
that Justify possessed and is reproducing globally.@

HOLLAND ENDS "TOUGH"BREEZE-UP YEAR ON HIGH
AT ARQANA

Arthur Hoyeau signs for the top lot at Arqana | Zuzanna Lupa

By Brian Sheerin
A i210,000 daughter of Too Darn Hot (GB) headlined what
was a predictably tricky two-year-old section to the Summer
Sale at Arqana as the curtain definitively came down on the2024 breeze-up season.
It was Brendan Holland's Grove Stud who consigned the day
one top lot, who was bought by bloodstock agent Arthur Hoyeau
on behalf of MyRaceHorse.
"She's been bought for MyRaceHorse and will go to the UnitedStates," said Hoyeau. "She's a very interesting filly with lots ofqualities and has the perfect profile to go to the States. She
breezed well yesterday and we've had very positive feedback on
her preparation. We're very happy."
The Tuesday sale-topper was sourced by Holland from theBook 1 session of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for
80,000gns. She is out of the winning mare Formidable Kitt (GB),
who belongs to the well-known Chasemore Farm family and is a
half-sister to black-type performers Arthur Kitt (GB) (Camelot{GB}) and Eartha Kitt (GB) (Pivotal {GB}).
Formidable Kitt has already produced a classy type herself
through Kitteridge (GB) (Camelot {GB}), who won her maiden at
Newcastle before gaining black-type when third in the Listed
Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket earlier this year. Cont. p3

WHITE BIRCH FACES CRUCIAL GALLOPBEFORE ECLIPSE DECISION IS MADE
The participation of White Birch (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}) in
Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown hinges on how the Group 1scorer comes through a crucial gallop on Wednesday, according
to George Murphy, assistant trainer to his father John.
White Birch got the better of Aidan O'Brien's Auguste Rodin(Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the
Curragh on his most recent start but missed the rematch in the
Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.
He will face another Ballydoyle big gun in this year's Derby
winner City Of Troy (Justify) if declared for Saturday, but
Murphy explained that there are some hoops to jump throughat home first.
Murphy said, "The plan is to go to Sandown and he will have abreeze tomorrow [Wednesday] and he will have his blood donein the morning again, with a decision made after midday.
Hopefully we will be able to go and we're really looking forward
to it." Cont. p4

Lot 47: a Too Darn Hot filly led the way at Arqana on Tuesday
Zuzanna Lupa

Arqana Summer Sale cont. from p1
Explaining how he ended up bringing lot 47 to the Summer
Sale at Arqana, Holland said, "She wasn't ready for an earlier
sale so we gave her the time and thankfully it has worked out. I
didn't even enter her in any earlier sale than this. We werepretty confident coming here that she would go down well and,since we have bought her, we couldn't have wished for the sireto have progressed like he has. He's been having Classic winners
and of course this filly's sister got black-type this year as well, so
the whole thing has fallen into place."
He added, "It's unusual that something of this quality getspresented here at this sale. It was slightly by default but I justfelt that she had a strong pedigree and, if she needed the time,
she needed the time. We'd no choice but to come here and it
has worked out in everybody's favour."Renowned breeze-up handler Willie Browne of Mocklershill
also featured among the top lots when selling a Kodiac (GB) colt
for i52,000 to trainer Yann Barberot. Like Holland, Browne
described this year's trade as respectable rather thanmemorable.
He said, "We sold a Kodiac on behalf of a client but he actually
lost money. Blarney got a touch there today, and fair play tohim, but we were under no illusions whatsoever coming overhere for this sale."
Browne added, "Tattersalls Ireland was a complete one-off thisyear. They had the people there to bolster up that sale and,
consequently, they had a 90 per cent clearance rate. That wasnight and day compared to all of the other breeze-up sales thisyear. Outside of Fairyhouse, there was no middle and no bottom
to the breeze-up market this year.
"I had two or three horses who made a substantial amount ofmoney and that steadied the ship but I wouldn't have made any

WEDNESDAY • 3 JULY 2024

money. Relatively speaking, I did okay. I didn't do too muchdamage but it has been a really tough year for a lot of people. I'd
say I only washed my face."
Holland agreed with Browne's summary that a lot of handlers
felt the going tough, particularly in the middle to lower end of
the market, and stressed that there is a finite number of horsesthat can pass through the breeze-up system in a given year.
"It [the market] feels tough and the consensus is that it was
tough this year," Holland explained. "The amount of money
spent at the breeze-up sales this year was certainly on a par tolast year but there was a slight increase in the number of horses
offered. There was a similar amount of horses sold so that
number has remained static. Like any other market, thebreeze-up sector is a finite market and everyone within the
sector and within the industry needs to be mindful of that."
The Summer Sale at Arqana will not be the only alternativethat breeze-up consignors will have when it comes to offering
horses that either missed a slot or failed to find a suitor at oneof the earlier sales. Goffs is set to enter the market in 2025
while Goresbride has stated its intention to return to thebreeze-up sector as well.
Suddenly, from one breeze-up sale in Ireland, there could
potentially be three, and Holland revealed that the Breeze-Up
Consignors Association will be meeting to discuss this very
proposition in the coming weeks.
Asked how he would be approaching the yearling sales in lightof this year's trade and considering the new dimension to next
year's breeze-up circuit, Holland said, "I have no intention ofchanging anything drastically. We try to do things better every
year. My numbers have stayed the same for over 10 years now-I
never sell more than 25 horses. I'm the same as everyone else, I
just try to buy the best horse I can for the money I have."Cont. p4

He added, "But there is plenty to think about ahead of next
year. We are getting very close [to the limit of horses passing
through the system] and there were roughly 1,100 breeze-up
horses offered before this sale today and 750 of them were
sold.
"Those numbers are very similar to last year. Everyone isthinking about it [the two new sales] and it will be discussed
formally amongst ourselves as an association in the coming
weeks."Of the 93 breeze-up horses offered on Tuesday, just 46 were
sold, representing a clearance rate of 49%. The National Huntpart of the session put a much better look on the figures and, alltold, 158 of the 255 horses offered were sold for an aggregateof i5,218,000 which was down 11% on last year despite thefact that there 32 more lots offered. The clearance rate was
62%, down 18% on last year, while the average was up 1% to
i33,025 and the median up marginally from i22,000 to

White Birch cont. from p1
White Birch will have to concede 10lb to City Of Troy as well as
the other three-year-olds in the mix, which include Clive Cox's
Ghostwriter (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Brian Meehan's Royal
Ascot scorer Jayarebe (Fr) (Zoffany {Ire}) and Roger Teal's Pouled'Essai des Poulains runner-up Dancing Gemini (Ire) (Camelot{GB}).
The latter is set to be partnered by Kieran Shoemark for the
first time at Sandown, with Dylan Browne McMonagle--who has
been in the saddle for Dancing Gemini's two previous starts thisseason--likely to be claimed by Joseph O'Brien for the ride on Al
Riffa (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).
"Al Riffa is committed for Joseph and we knew he had an
entry, so we've basically worked around the idea that we won't
be getting Dylan," Teal explained. "We set out to use a jockey
familiar with our tracks, which will help us, though Dylan's a very
good jockey and I'm sure he's going to be champion in Ireland.
"It will help to have someone who is streetwise and has a bit ofknowledge of the track, so that decision was made. Oisin
Murphy was due to take the ride, but Mr Gosden has made an
entry up in the Lancashire Oaks and Oisin is under contract to go
out there. We've taken the chance on Kieran and we think heticks a lot of the boxes."

RAMATUELLE AND BUCANERO FUERTEBOTH EXPECTED TO SKIP PRIX JEAN PRAT

Ramatuelle | Scoop Dyga

Connections of Ramatuelle are targeting an autumn campaign
with the daughter of Justify after she finished third in the G1Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, deciding against a tilt at theG1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville on Sunday.
Trained by Christopher Head, Ramatuelle won the G2 Prix
Robert Papin as a two-year-old and has since finished placed at
the top level on three occasions. Runner-up to Vandeek (GB)(Havana Grey {GB}) in last year's Prix Morny at Deauville, she
preceded her Royal Ascot effort with another third-place finish
in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The three-year-old is now set to drop back to seven furlongs
when she makes her next intended appearance in the G1 Prix dela Foret at Longchamp on Sunday, October 6, with an outing at
the Breeders' Cup also on the agenda for later in the year.
"The owners want to respect her and make the best
programme ever for her," said Head. "We are going to wait for
the Prix de la Foret and then the Breeders' Cup. That's the idea
[to drop her back to seven furlongs] and obviously the Breeders'
Cup at the end of the season on the mile is pretty much going tosuit her profile.
"I think it is the best bet we can get with her for the season.
She is full of speed and the mile might be a bit tricky for her atthe end. So, everything says she's better at that type of
distance."
The Adrian Murray-trained Bucanero Fuerte (GB) (Wootton
Bassett {GB}) will be another absentee from the Sunday's Prix
Jean Prat, having failed to recover in time from the setback
which ruled him out of Royal Ascot. Cont. p5

Bucanero Fuerte cont.
A Group 1 winner as a juvenile when landing the Phoenix
Stakes at the Curragh, Bucanero Fuerte was last seen winning
the G3 Lacken Stakes on his first start of the campaign at Naas inMay, with signs of travel sickness forcing him to miss Ascot
when he was among the favourites for the G1 Commonwealth
Cup.
"We're thinking of the July Cup at Newmarket," Murray said of
future plans for the colt. "He won't be ready for France [PrixJean Prat]. We're aiming for Newmarket but whether we will
have him ready in time, I don't know.
"He will have lost a good bit of weight and we're having tobuild him back up. We're hoping to have him there, but there's
no guarantee. We have a lot of options for him if we don't get
him to Newmarket."
