Fasig-Tipton Looking For Australian Mares
Friday, 20 August 2010: The company is now looking to recruit additional mares and will accept nominations through August 31.
“We have been forming the concept with Byron Rogers and John Fulton and there is encouraging support from sellers here and from our representatives' contacts in their respective areas,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning.
“Buyers from Australia, New Zealand and South America find it easy to evaluate these offerings, even if they do not attend the sale.
“We are working on a number of promotional and hospitality ideas in these regions to expand our buyer base.
“We intend to start carefully and test the market.
“The focus will be to offer a limited number of mares in a continuous sequence during our one day sale.
“Race-record and pedigree are what we are looking for, in mares primarily in foal to non-shuttling commercial stallions.”
