Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 4, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 4, 2019 Everett Dobson’s Candy Meadows Farm has launched a sales division and will offer its first consignment at next week’s Keeneland September sale. The farm’s September consignment will feature 11 yearlings by sires such as Into Mischief, Curlin, American Pharoah, More Than Ready, Uncle Mo, and Twirling Candy. “We’re very optimistic about our Keeneland consignment,” said Candy Meadows’ Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Matt Lyons. “We have a good group of horses, including some really nice colts in Books 1 and 2. We’re excited about the horses we’re bringing to the market. A lot of the yearlings we are offering are out of young stakes mares that were bought as yearlings, raced, and have come back as broodmares.” Lyons served as Vice President and General Manager of Woodford Thoroughbreds for 10 years before joining Candy Meadows in January. Dobson operates a racing stable under the banner of Cheyenne Stables and is a member of the board of stewards for The Jockey Club and a member of Breeders’ Cup Ltd. He is on the Board of Trustees for TOBA, and Chairman of the American Graded Stakes Committee, as well as Trustee to the Keeneland Association. “We have a diverse operation with quite a large racing stable and we’re building a nice broodmare band,” Lyons said. “We’re looking forward to our first sales consignment and growing the farm and our brand.” The post Candy Meadows Farm to Offer First Consignment at Keeneland appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
