Our Moneyman sells for $2 million, sets Fasig-Tipton record

Our Moneyman brought $2 million as the final horse through the ring at Fasig-Tipton’s July Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale, and the price reset the session record in one swing. The 3-year-old son of Mr. Money gave the sale its loudest win-now statement, with Saudi Arabia-based KAS Stables buying a proven graded-placed colt instead of waiting on an unraced prospect.

The hammer price topped the previous mark of $1.7 million, set by Romeo at the 2025 sale, and it came in a market that kept rewarding usable talent. Fasig-Tipton’s 2026 Horses of Racing Age session produced 38 sold for $6,428,000, a record average of $169,158 and a median of $85,000. The session also left 7 horses unraced from the results, while the high price of $2 million stood alone above the rest of the catalogue.

That kind of money makes sense when a horse already has the résumé to step straight into a major 3-year-old program. Our Moneyman was cataloged Sunday, July 12, one day after finishing second in the Indiana Derby (G3), and Fasig-Tipton said at the time that he had won or placed in all nine career starts, with three wins, four stakes placings and $392,067 in earnings. His record already included a stakes victory in the Louisiana Champions Day Juvenile Stakes, plus runner-up finishes this year in the Indiana Derby, the Matt Winn Stakes and the Louisiana Futurity. Fasig-Tipton also listed a stakes win in the Crescent City Derby.

Pedro Lanz bought the colt for KAS Stables and said the plan is to keep him in the United States with trainer Bret Calhoun. That keeps Our Moneyman on the same domestic stakes trail, where the next target on the radar is the Pennsylvania Derby at Parx on Sept. 19. For a horse with graded form and room to move forward, that is the point of the purchase: immediate participation in the sophomore stakes scene and a chance to turn a seven-figure price into a marquee return before the year is out.

The sale also gave Allied Racing Stable and breeder-owner Chester Thomas a profitable finish with a colt out of Lipstick Junky, a mare that has already produced multiple stakes winners. For Fasig-Tipton, Our Moneyman was the kind of horse the market could not ignore, the final hip in a record-setting session and the most expensive proof yet that ready-to-run, graded-class 3-year-olds are still the hottest currency in the room.
