BALTIMORE – For the second consecutive year, Fasig-Tipton, North America’s oldest Thoroughbred auction house, will be the title sponsor of the Preakness Stakes Winners’ Party Saturday, May 18 following the 144th Preakness Stakes (G1).
    
Fasig-Tipton will formally congratulate the winning connections with a glass of 14 Hands, the official wines of the Preakness.

The Fasig-Tipton Stakes Barn Winners’ Party will be held immediately after the races on Preakness Saturday between stakes barns D and E at Pimlico. Fasig-Tipton will also be onsite in the stakes barn hospitality tent throughout Preakness week to promote its upcoming Midlantic Two-Year-Olds Training Sale, which will be held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in nearby Timonium, Maryland the following week.

“Fasig-Tipton has a long association with Maryland, having conducted auctions in the state for much of the company’s 120 year history,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “It is only natural that we have a presence at Maryland’s most important race – the Preakness – in conjunction with our upcoming Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale.”
