Most yearlings arrive unnamed at Thoroughbred auctions, identified only by their hip numbers and pedigrees, before being named by their purchasers. Hip #2271 at the 2019 Keeneland September yearling sale wasn’t like most horses then, nor is he now. He came to the Taylor Made Sales Agency consignment named Jackie’s Warrior, and though he was sold to Kirk Robison for $95,000, his name was not changed.
