Janney Dispersal To Highlight Keeneland November Sale

Stuart S. Janney III | ScoopDyga

Thirteen broodmares, in foal to the likes of Good Magic, Life Is Good and Not This Time, and a pair of broodmare prospects will be catalogued as part of the Complete Dispersal of Breeding Stock for prominent Thoroughbred owner, breeder and executive Stuart S. Janney III at the upcoming Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale in Lexington. The sale begins Tuesday, Nov. 5 and runs nine sessions through Wednesday, Nov. 13. Claiborne Farm will handle the consignment for its long-time client.

Janney, who serves as chairman of The Jockey Club, was introduced to racing through his parents Stuart and Barbara, who bred and raced the legendary and beloved Ruffian, a member of racing's Hall of Fame who was foaled at Claiborne and who has since been returned to her birthplace. The elder Janneys were also represented by the likes of Icecapade and Private Terms. The Janney Family has boarded mares at Claiborne for many years.

In partnership with Phipps Stable, Stuart Janney III campaigned 2013 GI Kentucky Derby winner Orb (Malibu Moon) and his other top horses include Ironicus, Data Link, Hit It Rich, On Leave Hymn Book and Air Support.

“The relationship between the Janney family and Claiborne goes back even before the days of Ruffian,” said Claiborne Farm's Seth Hancock. “No one has shown more energy, passion and love for the game than Stuart.”

Three of the Janney mares will be consigned in Book One of the November Sale on Nov. 5:

 

  • The stakes-winning and multiple graded-placed In A Hurry (Blame) in foal to Claiborne's War Front;

 

 

  • Secure Connection (Data Link), a half-sister to Scarlett Sky and carrying a foal by Not This Time

 

The Nov. 6 session includes the following Janney horses:

 

  • The winning and stakes-placed Gun Boat (War Front), a daughter of Grade III winner Onus (Blame) offered as a broodmare prospect;

 

  • Hold Harmless (Blame), the dam of Limited Liability (Lemon Drop Kid), recent winner of the Nashville Gold Cup and seven times placed at the graded level;

 

 

  • MGSW On Leave (War Front), a half-sister to no fewer than four graded stakes winner and selling in foal to Street Sense;

 

 

Additional Janney mares in the catalog are in foal to Maclean's Music, Munnings, Silver State and War of Will. The second broodmare prospect is Take a Break, a 4-year-old winning filly by Quality Road out of On Leave.

“Stuart Janney and his horses have long represented quality and class, and Keeneland is honored to present this dispersal at the November Sale,” Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. “Mr. Janney has developed these bloodlines for generations and these families will be highly prized by breeders and owners.”

The November Sale catalog will be available online Tuesday. Print catalogs will be mailed Oct. 11.
