Fasig-Tipton January digital sale releases catalog, readies buyers

Fasig-Tipton staged its January digital sale on Jan. 12, 2026, with a full digital catalog and downloadable PDFs supplied to the market ahead of the event. As one of the fixtures on the early-year auction calendar, the sale gave bloodstock participants an accessible way to review lots, register to bid, and make logistical arrangements before committing capital.

The catalog release functions as more than a list of names and pedigrees. Buyers, consignors, pinhookers, trainers, and agents rely on early access to lot pages and PDF downloads to vet pedigrees, flag prospects, and coordinate inspections or veterinary checks. Digital access shortens lead times and lets prospective purchasers and consignors study pedigrees, conformation photos, and sale conditions away from the auction floor.

Practical access was provided through the sale platform, with clear routes to the full catalog and PDF downloads and highlighted instructions for registration. Buyers should confirm bidding credentials and sufficiency of funds, and consignors should verify their lot descriptions and paperwork to ensure entries appear correctly in the catalog. The digital format also makes it easier to compare lots side by side and to distribute materials to partners and advisers before bidding.

For the broader market, an active January digital sale can set tone for the season. Early sales help reveal buyer demand, pricing benchmarks, and which pedigrees are attracting attention coming out of the winter break. That information matters to consignors planning spring consignments, to short term traders looking for pinhooking opportunities, and to stable managers mapping out acquisition targets.

If you participated, download and archive the PDFs for reference and double check your invoice and transport arrangements promptly. If you’re preparing to sell later in the season, review the entries and note how similar lots performed; those patterns will help with reserve setting and marketing. Digital sales move quickly, so having catalogs offline for annotation and a clear bid plan keeps you competitive.

Our two cents? Treat the digital catalog like a live tool: download the PDFs, confirm registration and payment channels, and set hard spending limits before the hammer falls. That combination of preparation and discipline will save time, money, and headaches as the auction season ramps up.
