Keeneland has expanded the 2019 April Sale, which traditionally features 2-year-olds in training, to include horses of racing age, the sales company announced Wednesday.
The April Sale is scheduled for Tuesday, Apr. 9, immediately following the Spring Meet opening weekend, which begins Thursday, Apr. 4.
“Keeneland's Spring Meet is a convergence of horsemen heading home from their winter bases,” Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said. “The addition of a horses of racing age component to the April Sale complements our racing program and offers variety to buyers in town for opening weekend.”
The entry deadline for the online horses of racing age catalog is Friday, Mar. 15. Supplemental entries will be accepted after that deadline. Entries for the 2-year-olds in training catalog close Saturday, Feb. 1.
Keeneland conducted the April 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale from 1993-2014. The sale has been on hiatus since 2015. At the 2014 April Sale, future champions Lady Eli (Divine Park) and Roy H (More Than Ready) were sold.
