1/ST announces a partnership with Fasig-Tipton as the title sponsor of the Fasig-Tipton 3-Year-Old Filly Series. This collaboration will spotlight the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) and the Santa Anita Oaks (G2). Both races are pivotal prep races for the May 2 Kentucky Oaks (G1) and are expected to draw top talent from across the country.
The Fasig-Tipton 3-Year-Old Filly Series will debut Jan.1 at Gulfstream Park with the Cash Run Stakes and will conclude with the Gulfstream Park Oaks on Florida Derby Day, March 29. Similarly, the Santa Anita Park segment of the series will start with the Santa Ynez Stakes (G3) Jan. 5 and culminate in the Santa Anita Oaks April 5.
Part of the 1/ST RACING Tour, the Fasig-Tipton 3-Year-Old Filly Series will add excitement and new opportunities to the Gulfstream Park Championship Meet (Nov. 28-March 30) and Santa Anita Park’s Classic Meet (Dec. 26-April 7). The 1/ST RACING Tour is a connected series providing fans with over sixty stakes races, exciting coast-to-coast Pick 5 wagers, handicapping contests, and incentive opportunities for owners and trainers.
“We’re excited to highlight the fillies on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks and Black-Eyed Susan with the support of Fasig-Tipton, a longstanding partner of 1/ST. We look forward to launching this new initiative together,” said Aidan Butler, president, 1/ST.
“Fasig-Tipton is proud to partner with 1/ST to sponsor the 3-Year-Old Filly Series at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park on the road to the Kentucky Oaks,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “Many of the sport’s top female racehorses have made their first steps towards greatness during these prestigious races. Fasig-Tipton prides itself on having sold many of the great female champions in American racing—at both the beginning of their careers as yearlings and 2-year-olds, as well as at the conclusion of their racing days at our marquee November Sale. We are pleased to further our association with top racing females through the sponsorship of these important series coast to coast.”
