Bidding is now open for the “Gigante Flash Sale,” a one-horse online auction of graded stakes winner and multiple stakes winner Gigante on Fasig-Tipton Digital. Bidding will close Jan. 31 at 12 p.m. ET.
Gigante, a 5-year-old son of leading young sire Not This Time , is offered as a horse of racing age by Lane’s End, agent. He enters the sale off of back-to-back stakes wins at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, having won the Colonel E. R. Bradley Stakes most recently on Jan. 18.
Trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, Gigante has been a stakes winner each year of his career at 2, 3, 4, and this year at 5, on both dirt and turf. His biggest win came at 3, winning the Secretariat Stakes (G2T) at Colonial Downs going one mile on turf. He has current earnings of nearly $1.2 million.
“Gigante is the definition of the word ‘racehorse’,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton director of digital sales. “He’s a millionaire in arguably the best form of his career—a ready-to-run graded stakes horse that would be a welcome addition to any top racing stable in the U.S. or abroad.”
Gigante is stabled at Fair Grounds and available for inspection.
Prospective buyers may view the entry and register to bid at digital.fasigtipton.com.
