Grade 1 stakes winner Iscreamuscream topped the 2026 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed sale, held Monday at the Newtown Paddocks in Lexington, Kentucky. Despite inclement weather, the single-session sale posted across the board gains.

Iscreamuscream (hip 385), winner of the Del Mar Oaks (G1) and San Clemente H. (G2), sold for $1,500,000 to Katsumi Yoshida (video). She was offered as a broodmare prospect by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent, on behalf of owners Agave Racing Stable, Little Red Feather Racing, John Hundley Jr., Marsha Naify, John Snyder, and Stacey Synder.

“It was a tremendous sale,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “Statistically, everything’s up 40% or a little over. More than that, there was a lot of activity. The sale felt good. There were bidders from $1,500,000 to $150,000 to $15,000. Throughout every level of the marketplace there was activity.”

Rounding out the top five hips of the session were:

  • Ava’s Grace (hip 126), in foal to Curlin, sold for $950,000 to MWG LLC from the consignment of Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa, agent. A Grade 1 placed and multiple graded stakes placed daughter of Laoban, Ava’s Grace is represented by a two-year-old Into Mischief colt and a yearling Into Mischief filly (see hip 127 below).
  • Elle Sueno (hip 193), in foal to Curlin, sold for $800,000 to Tropical Racing LLC from the consignment of Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa, agent. Elle Sueno has already produced three winners, including Grade 2 winning juvenile Dream Lith.
  • A yearling filly by Into Mischief (hip 127) out of Grade 1 performer Ava’s Grace, sold for $625,000 to MWG LLC from the consignment of Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa, agent – the same connections represented in the sale of the dam one hip prior. Hip 127 was bred in Kentucky by Cypress Creek Equine.
  • Maysam (hip 294), sold for $400,000 to Katsumi Yoshida from the consignment of Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa, agent. Winner of the Fasig-Tipton Santa Ysabel S. (G3), the daughter of Game Winner was offered as a broodmare prospect.

“One of the most encouraging signs is to see horses selling for significantly more than the reserves the consignors put on them,” added Browning. “Our consignors are pretty sophisticated and pretty market savvy and to see horses just blowing by the reserves is really encouraging.”

Overall, 267 horses sold for $16,696,500, an increase of 43.6% from last year when 263 horses sold for $11,626,500. The average rose 41.5% to $62,534 from $44,207 last year, while the median climbed 47.1% to $25,000 from $17,000 last year. The RNA rate was 17.5%.

“It’s a result of the quality of the catalogue,” Browning concluded. “People continue to have more and more confidence in the February sale.”
