Street Sense and Any Given Saturday best among freshman sires at Maryland

Day two of Fasig-Tipton’s Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training sale ended May 24 with G1 winners Street Sense and Any Given Saturday leading the way among freshman sires by average.

Any Given Saturday distinguished himself not only as the second-leading freshman sire by average but also as the only freshman sire to be represented by three six-figure offerings. Following his strong first-day showing which saw two colts sell for US$200,000 and US$165,000, purchased by Stanley Hough and Bob Baffert, respectively, day two featured a US$125,000 filly from the consignment of Pike Racing, Agent with Ciaran Dunne signing the ticket for Donver Stable.
