Generazio Dispersal Set for Keeneland January

A complete dispersal of horses owned by Patricia Generazio will be offered at the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale and will be consigned by Denali Stud. The sale is scheduled for Jan. 9-12.

Among the horses that will be sold are racing/broodmare prospects SW Mischievous Dream (Into Mischief), Pure Bode (Bodemeister), and Marquet Legacy (Gio Ponti), all from the families of some of the most popular graded winners developed by the Generazio operation. Among the horses campaigned by Generazio and her late husband, Frank, are GISWs Presious Passion (Royal Anthem) and Discreet Marq (Discreet Cat), as well as MGSWs Pure Sensation (Zensational) and Disco Partner (Disco Rico). The latter three were all homebreds. The Generazio operation has tallied over $32 million in earnings and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in the New York-bred program in 2020.

“We are grateful that Mrs. Generazio has entrusted us to handle this dispersal,” said Denali's Conrad Bandoroff. “For buyers, this is an incredibly exciting opportunity to tap into these black-type families that have never been offered at auction.”

Christophe Clement, who has trained for Generazio for the last decade, added: “The quality of their program is in the strength of their mares and their ability to produce high-caliber racehorses with limited opportunity in terms of the stallions that they were bred to. You can really see this with how many successful homebreds they have campaigned over the years. What they've accomplished is extraordinary.”
