Spirit Wind, a multiple graded stakes winner of more than $730,000, was sold post-RNA March 19 for $500,000 to Willingham Stud. Spirit Wind was initially not sold for $450,000 in the Fasig-Tipton March Digital Sale that closed March 18.

Taylor Made Sales Agency consigned the 6-year-old mare, whose marquee win came in the Honorable Miss Handicap (G2) at Saratoga Race Course last summer.

Her $500,000 sale makes Spirit Wind the highest-priced horse offered in the March Digital Sale, pushing gross receipts to $3,642,500. She led a trio of graded or group stakes-winning fillies or mares offered in the auction, which accounted for the three highest-priced horses sold. R Harper Rose, winner of the 2024 Forward Gal Stakes (G3), sold for $400,000 to Chatsworth Stud in Australia; and French group winner Laulne sold for $320,000 to Franklin Finance, Haras d'Etreham and Madaket Stable.

"Fasig-Tipton Digital is the proven online sales platform to offer high-profile breeding and racing stock to a global audience, with graded and group stakes winners now sold to entities operating on three different continents," said Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales Leif Aaron. "Our success with these graded stakes winners in our March sale comes on the heels of selling champion Soul of an Angel for $2,600,000 earlier this month, a record price for a North American online auction and the second-highest price ever achieved digitally worldwide."

Fasig-Tipton Digital's next scheduled auction is the April Digital Sale, to take place April 3-8. Entries close this March 24.
