Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 1, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 1, 2018 A total of 4,538 yearlings (2,372 colts and 2,166 fillies) have been cataloged for Keeneland’s 75th-annual September Yearling Sale, which will be held over 13 sessions from Sept. 10 – Sept. 23. Last year’s auction, which took place in 12 sessions, featured a catalogue of 4,139. As previously announced, this year’s September format will include a longer four-day Book 1 compared to just one day in 2017. A lone dark day will take place after Book 1 on Friday, Sept. 14. The sale’s online catalog will be available at September.keeneland.com starting Tuesday, Aug. 7. Print copies will be mailed Thursday, Aug. 16. “The unparalleled strengths of the September Sale are the quantity of outstanding yearlings at all price levels and the deepest buying bench globally in the industry,” Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said. “This year was an historic one for the September Sale with [$500,000 2016] graduate Justify (Scat Daddy) becoming racing’s newest Triple Crown winner. This is another milestone in a sale with a record of consistently producing world-class athletes.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
