Keeneland has catalogued 4,164 yearlings the 72nd annual Keeneland September Yearling Sale, to be held Sept. 14-26. September Sale catalogs will be available online at Keeneland.com beginning Tuesday, Aug. 11. Print catalogs will be mailed the week of Aug. 24.
This year, Keeneland is the only U.S.-based sales company to offer offspring by Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}).
“We are delighted to have yearlings by Frankel in the September Sale,” Keeneland Director of Sales Geoffrey Russell said. “The presence of his yearlings and those by other highly prized international sires reflects the fact that U.S. breeders have traveled overseas to buy mares in foal to these stallions or breed mares to these stallions with the intent of selling the resulting offspring at Keeneland.”
Prominent sires represented in the Keeneland September catalog include Dansili (GB), Bernardini, Candy Ride (Arg), Distorted Humor, Mastercraftsman (Ire), Pioneerof the Nile, Tapit, Uncle Mo and War Front.
Of the total 4,164 yearlings cataloged, 2,168 are colts, 1,995 are fillies and one is a gelding. This year Book 1 will cover three sessions, as opposed to four last year, and the sale will last for 12 sessions total.
Keeneland will provide live coverage of the entire September Sale on their website.
