Keeneland's catalog of 3,594 horses in the breeding stock and weanling portion of its 78th November Breeding Stock Sale, to be held Nov. 10-19, is now online.
The catalog includes 2,159 broodmares and broodmare prospects, 1,432 weanlings and three stallions or stallion prospects for this significant auction that attracts participation of leading Thoroughbred owners and breeders across the U.S. and around the world.
Print catalogs will be mailed around Oct. 15.
This year's November Sale also will offer a single session dedicated to horses of racing age that will take place the final day – immediately following 148 cataloged head of breeding stock. Because Keeneland extended the entry deadline for the racehorse segment until Oct. 4, information about the offerings will be posted online in mid-October and appear in a separate print catalog available on the grounds.
Keeneland will continue to accept supplements to Book 1 of the November Sale and to the horses of racing age portion until the auction begins.
“The Keeneland November Sale is unmatched globally in terms of scale and quality, and the anticipation for the sale is building,” Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. “Buyers will find proven producers, coveted broodmare prospects who were successful racehorses and royally bred weanlings at all levels of the market, particularly in the prestigious Book 1. And the reimagined horses of racing age segment ensures the excitement and opportunity continue through the final sale day.”
“The atmosphere at Keeneland for the September Sale was electric from start to finish,” Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said. “We look forward to setting the stage with similar fantastic energy for the breeding stock sale this November.”
For the November Sale, Keeneland once again will offer online and phone bidding to accommodate buyers who cannot attend. For more information for prospective buyers, including accessing the Keeneland Sales Portal, click here.
