Keeneland catalogs 4,296 yearlings for September sale

As the yearling sale season continues, Keeneland has cataloged 4,296 horses for its September yearling sale, considered the bellwether for the marketplace as it tests stock at all levels before domestic and international buyers over 12 sessions from Monday, Sept. 9, through Saturday, Sept. 21.

The sale begins with Books 1 and 2, which are two sessions each, and which contain yearlings judged by Keeneland’s inspection team to be the finest entries based on conformation and pedigree.

Following one dark day, the sale continues through Books 3, 4, 5, and 6, all with two sessions each.

"The September sale caters to buyers at every level, offering yearlings that fit various price points in each session,” Keeneland vice president of sales Tony Lacy said in a press release.
