The Phipps female families continue to thrive, with 19 horses accounting for an impressive 27 graded stakes wins this year in the U.S. and Canada, including the sensational Flightline! And this success is not limited to North America, with 3 horses accounting for 4 Grade 1 wins in England, Australia, and Argentina this year.
This success on the track made yearlings from Phipps families attractive at the Saratoga Sale, with 14 selling for $6.6 million or an average of $472,500. The demand for those old Phipps families that continue to win at the highest levels is likely to continue at the Keeneland September yearling sale.
The Keeneland sale features 22 Book 1 yearlings from Phipps female families from multiple consignors, most by top sires who will be very attractive to potential buyers. Below is the list of yearlings, the Phipps mares in their tail-female lines, and their consignors.
