Keeneland has cataloged 66 horses for its April Horses of Racing Age Sale, to be held Monday, Apr. 26. The sale, which will begin at 1 p.m. ET and be livestreamed on Keeneland.com, will be conducted as an integrated event, with live auctioneers at Keeneland and with horses presented for sale both physically at Keeneland and at off-site locations. Keeneland also will provide online bidding for buyers who wish to participate remotely.

Keeneland will continue to accept supplemental entries to the April Sale until Thursday, Apr. 22.

The catalog, also available through the Equibase iPad app, includes pedigrees, Equibase past performances and race videos, Daily Racing Form past performances, and Ragozin and Thoro-Graph figures. Consignors may upload photographs and walking videos.

“We are pleased with the interest among horsemen in returning the April Sale to the calendar after we had to cancel it last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Keeneland President, CEO and Interim Director of Sales Shannon Arvin said. “Its placement this year at the start of Kentucky Derby Week combined with the innovative digital catalog and remote selling options provide an exciting opportunity for people looking to enhance their racing operations.”

Participating consignors include ELiTE, Hunter Valley Farm, Indian Creek Farm, Lane's End, Mill Ridge Sales, Stonestreet Stables, Taylor Made Sales and WinStar Racing. Among the horses ELiTE is offering are three horses that will be located at Santa Anita Park. The Stonestreet Stables entrants are stabled at Payson Park Training Center in Florida. Another horse cataloged in the sale is the 2-year-old American Freedom filly American Bound, who was an impressive winner on the Apr. 2 opening day card of Keeneland's Spring Meet.

Buyers who plan to attend the April Sale or participate remotely should register for an account and establish credit within the Keeneland Sales Portal. Keeneland recommends doing so two weeks before the sale. Contact Director of Sales Accounting Brent Hacker at 859 288-4231 or bhacker@keeneland.com with any questions about the sale.
