Amo Racing Swoop on $6.2Million Mare at Fasig Tipton November Sale

Media Release - Tuesday November 4

The Fasig-Tipton November Sale, held Monday at the Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Kentucky, lived up to its billing as the World’s Premier Breeding Stock Event with a lively session of trade in which the sales exceeded $100million for the fourth time in the past five years and featured an amazing 27 mares that sold for $1million or more.

Amo Racing went to $6,200,000 to secure the sale topping Streak of Luck (hip 220) from the consignment of Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent for Aaron & Marie Jones (video). Streak of Luck is the dam of this year’s undefeated Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) winner and presumptive Eclipse Champion 2YO Male Ted Noffey.

Streak of Luck topped the sale at $6.2million.

A multiple graded stakes placed stakes winning daughter of Old Fashioned, Streak of Luck was offered in foal to successful young sire Not This Time.

“We’re overall very pleased with the results of The November Sale,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “The market was very good but also still rational, with tremendous support from international buyers. It’s obviously very rewarding to see a horse that came in late and got a significant update top the sale.”

This year’s Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) winner Shisospicy (hip 147) was the evening’s second-highest price and top racing/broodmare prospect, sold for $5,200,000 to Morplay Racing from the consignment of Gainesway, agent. Shisospicy is the only three-year-old filly to win the Turf Sprint, and her 2 ½ winning margin is the best in the championship test’s history. A daughter of Champion Sprinter Mitole, Shisospicy is a three-time graded stakes winner this year with earnings of more than $2,000,000.

Reigning Broodmare of the Year Puca (Hip 135) sold for $5,000,000 to Raging Torrent Syndicate from the consignment of ELiTE, agent. Puca is the dam of three consecutive Grade 1 winning colts, including: 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage; 2024 Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch; and 2025 Pennsylvania Derby winner Baeza. She has a yearling colt by Good Magic and produced a filly by the same sire this year, both full sibling’s to classic winner Mage.

Eclipse Champion 2YO Filly Just F Y I (hip 109) sold for $4,500,000 to Katsumi Yoshida from the consignment of Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa, agent. An undefeated multiple Grade 1 stakes winner at 2, Just F Y I was offered carrying her first foal by six-time champion sire Into Mischief.

Twenty-seven fillies and mares sold for $1,000,000 or more (compared to 26 last year). These included 16 sold for $2,000,000 or more (up from nine in 2024) and seven for $3,000,000 or more (compared to four in 2024).

A filly by Justify (hip 54) topped the selection of weanlings which opened the sale when sold for $800,000 to Hugo Lascelles, agent, from the consignment of Gainesway, agent. Bred in Kentucky by Payson Stud, the chestnut filly is out of the winning More Than Ready mare Summer Sweet, whose three winners include three-time Grade 1 winner She Feels Pretty (Karakontie-JPN). Lascelles went to $3,000,000 to secure Summer Sweet (hip 161) later in the session from the same consignor.

“We took a big slice out of the weanlings in terms of the numbers from this year to last year,” added Browning. “That was primarily by design. I think the market reacted very positively overall.”

Overall, 138 horses sold for $102,027,000, up 5.8% from when 178 sold for $96,423,500 last year. The gross was the second highest in sale history, second only to the 2021 renewal. The average rose 36.5% to $739,326 from $541,705 in 2024. The average was the second highest in the sale’s history, behind the record set in 2008. The median was $300,000 – tied for third highest in sale history –  up 20% from $250,000 last year. The RNA rate fell to 22.5%.
