The Fasig-Tipton November Sale last year saw fireworks, with Phipps-bred mare Magical World selling for a stunning $5.2 million and her daughter Guarana bringing $4.4 million. While those prices will be hard to top, Flightline’s Phipps pedigree and dozens of graded stakes wins this year by horses from Phipps female families may have a significant impact on prices.
The sale features 14 broodmares or broodmare prospects from Phipps female families. They include Grade 1 winners Queen Goddess (who is from the same Phipps female family as Flightline) and Bella Sofia, and Grade 1 producers Queen Caroline (dam of Breeders Cup Juvenile winner Forte) and Phipps-bred Special Treat (dam of Chocolate Gelato).
The full lists and their Phipps families are below.
