Midlantic May News Today

Bloodstock editor Joe Nevills examines the most successful sires of the 2023 2-year-old auction season by breeze time and median sale price.

A million-dollar Arrogate filly topped the final session of the 2023 Midlantic May 2-Year-Olds in Training held Tuesday evening in Timonium, Md., marking the eighth consecutive year that a seven-figure horse has been sold at this sale.

Aside from operations like Ocala Stud where it's baked into their strategy, seeing a homebred on offer at a 2-year-old sale is quite uncommon. Carrying a horse along for that length of time in the hopes that they'll end up being an appealing lot for an ever-more scrutinizing juvenile market is a risk most breeders don't want to take unless they have to.

Strong trade marked the opening session of the 2023 Midlantic May Two-Year-Olds in Training sale held Monday in Timonium, Md.

For all that Kentucky is known for in the Thoroughbred industry, the commercial 2-year-old market does not occupy a high position on that list. Because of that, the Bluegrass State address of Justin Wojczynski's White Pine Thoroughbreds stands out in the Midlantic May Sale catalog. 

Fasig-Tipton has cataloged 28 supplemental entries to its upcoming Midlantic May 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale.
