Juvenile champion and Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist led a group of first-crop weanling sires that included several fellow Eclipse Award champions at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale. Nyquist, who stands for Darley, was represented by the most expensive youngster from the group – a $600,000 filly sold to Larry Best’s OXO Equine – and led his class by average, with three sold for an average of $335,000.

Two-time Horse of the Year and Taylor Made stallion California Chrome finished with an average of $109,500 from six sold.

Champion sprinter Runhappy, standing at Claiborne Farm, led his class by gross, with 14 weanlings sold for $2.095 million.
