The live auction for the Championship Sale will commence at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time. Attendance is by invitation only, with bidding available in-person, online and by phone.

The auction's interactive catalog–featuring photos, videos, speed figures and detailed information about each entry–is available at Championship.Keeneland.com.

The Championship Sale features these offerings:

  • Lifetime breeding right to millionaire and Grade 1 winner Constitution, sire of multiple Grade I winner and GI Breeders' Cup Classic candidate Mindframe, exciting young sire Tiz the Law and others. The leading son of Tapit at stud, Constitution stands at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky. Randy Gullatt consigns the lifetime breeding right.

 

  • Stallion share in GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner and $4.5 million earner Life Is Good, who also stands at WinStar. The multiple Grade I-winning son of Into Mischief was represented by his first crop of yearlings at Keeneland's recent September Yearling Sale, where they commanded prices of $1.25 million, $1.025 million, $725,000, $700,000, etc. The 2.5% fractional interest is consigned by Christie DeBernardis, agent.

 

  • Stallion share in Mindframe, multiple Grade 1 winner and leading contender for the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 1. He is scheduled to enter stud at historic Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky, in 2026. The 2% fractional interest is consigned by Claiborne Farm, agent.

 

  • Stallion share in Not This Time, which includes the income associated with this share from his 2025 breeding season. Already the sire of nine Grade I winners, he is the leading sire of black-type winners in 2025 with 22 and second by graded stakes winners with 12. He stands at Taylor Made Stallions in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The 2% fractional interest is consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent.

 

  • Lifetime breeding right to leading sire, champion and GI Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist, who stands at Darley in Lexington. He leads all sires with 10 Grade I performers in 2025 including Cavalieri, Argos and Velocity. Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, agent consigns the lifetime breeding right.

 

  • 20% ownership interest in 2024 Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna, now retired to Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa. In three racing seasons, Thorpedo Anna won 12 races in 16 starts, including the 2024 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff among 10 graded stakes, and earned $5.4 million. Out of the Uncle Mo mare Sataves, she is from the family of Grade/Group 1 winners Eskendereya and Balmont. The 20% fractional interest is consigned by McPeek Racing Stables, agent for Richard M. Edwards.

 

  • 25% ownership interest in Bentornato (Valiant Minister), a leading candidate for the GI Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint. Never off the board in 10 career starts, the six-time winner has earned more than $1.2 million. A narrow second in the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar last year as a 3-year-old, Bentornato enters this year's championships off a career-best 5 1/4-length victory at Churchill Downs. Jose D'Angelo, agent, is consigning the 25% fractional interest.
