PR Special Keeneland September: What Equine Lending Can Tell Us About The State Of The Marketplace

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

In a whirlwind month for the auction season, the industry's attention now turns to Keeneland for the marathon September Yearling Sale, and the Paulick Report has what you need to read in the preview edition of the PR Special.

In this edition, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills examines equine financial lending, how it has changed since the last boom of the mid-2000s and the subsequent market crash, and what the activity that lenders have seen in the midst of COVID-19 uncertainties can tell us about the current direction of the Thoroughbred economy.

Walker Hancock of Claiborne Farm answers questions about veteran sire First Samurai in the latest Stallion Spotlight, then Bryce Burton of Muirfield Insurance discusses what to do and what to know if your Thoroughbred is being transported to the veterinary clinic for an emergency.

We then turn our attention to a pair of horses succeeding in unique ways. First, in Honor Roll Presented by the Runhappy Meet at Kentucky Downs, Ray Paulick looks at the family ties that led Ms Bad Behavior from being a $75,000 yearling purchase to an earner of over $500,000, including a victory in the G3 Three Chimneys Ladies Turf Stakes at Kentucky Downs. In the Florida-Bred Leaderboard, we take a look at the top Florida-bred juvenile earners on dirt during the Gulfstream Park summer meet; a category dominated by homebreds for Gil and Marilyn Campbell's Stonehedge LLC. Finally, we list the newcomers in the stallion ranks over the two-week Keeneland September sale in First-Crop Sire Watch.

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

The major yearling season kicks off today at the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase Sale, and the Paulick Report has the reading material you need in the PR Special.

If a Fasig-Tipton Kentucky sale in September feels like déjà vu, one needs to look back just three years to the Fasig-Tipton Turf Showcase for the last time it happened. Bloodstock editor Joe Nevills took a horse-by-horse look back at the unique sale's graduates, and where they stand today in the middle of their 4-year-old seasons. For a sale relatively small in population, the Turf Showcase's reach has proven to be global.

In today's Stallion Spotlight, Shadwell Farm's Kent Barnes discusses Mohaymen, a son of Tapit whose first foals are yearlings of 2020 and hitting the September sales for the first time this week. Dr. Brad Tanner of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital goes over the importance of having a veterinarian perform dental work on your horse in Ask Your Veterinarian, then we look at the emerging stallions in the Selected Yearlings Showcase in Second & Third Crop Sire Watch.
