[Wandering Eyes]

The 2024 Keeneland September Yearling Sale released its catalog Tuesday with 4,396 horses set to go through the ring over 12 sessions. The sale will be held Monday, Sept. 9 through Saturday, Sept. 21 in Lexington, KY.

“This time of year energizes Keeneland and our entire industry as we prepare to showcase an outstanding collection of quality yearlings and welcome many domestic and international horsemen and horsewomen to Lexington to participate in a vibrant marketplace unlike anything in the world,” said Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin. “Having achieved some of its strongest results in recent years and with an established record of successful graduates, the September Sale is a 'must attend' event for buyers and sellers around the world.”

The format for the September Sale remains unchanged from last year with Week 1 featuring a two-day Book 1 (Sept. 9 and 10) and a two-day Book 2 (Sept. 11 and 12) followed by a dark day Sept. 13.  Books 3-6 will be held during week 2.

“Spanning two weeks and six books, the September Sale caters to buyers at every level, offering yearlings that fit various price points in each session,” said Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy. “As the quality of entries continues to rise, so does the competition. Shopping on the grounds from Book 1 to Book 6 provides buyers the chance to find everything on their short lists and more. Last year, we were excited to see prominent buyers signing tickets not only on the first day of the sale but all the way through to the final day.”

The catalog features yearlings from the first crops of Knicks Go, Essential Quality, Charlatan, Maxfield and Yaupon in addition to household names such as Into Mischief, Curlin, Quality Road, Tapit and War Front.
