Costly Colts

The Friday File: At the 100th Saratoga Sale earlier this month, 135 yearlings sold for $55,155,000. The average price, $408,556, just shy of the 2019 record of $411,459. The median price was $350,000, equaling the record set in 2019. The priciest horse, $2.6 million. It was one of four lots to reach seven digits, the same as in the great Saratoga horse auction of 2019. The well-heeled have clearly healed.
