Two stakes winners for a young sire within a 24-hour period would send many stallion owners dancing in the streets. But when this happened to Disco Rico, his owner, Joe DiRico was quick to note that Disco Rico could be having an even bigger year.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - The bullish Keeneland November mixed sale had declines on its penultimate day on Thursday, but that did not diminish the auction's cumulative gains through 11 of 12 days' selling.

English classic winner Shadeed, a sire of European champions, has died at age 23 of complications from an undisclosed illness.

On Wednesday, when most horses were selling between $15,000 and $40,000 at the Keeneland November mixed sale, a connection to recent Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Stevie Wonderboy helped one mare achieve a $600,000 price.

Summer Scene, a 5-year-old Belong to Me mare who is a half-sister to Stevie Wonderboy, brought that price from Winchell Thoroughbreds. Offered by Mill Ridge Sales, she was cataloged in foal to Mizzen Mast.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - International buyers, racehorse trainers, and mid-market commercial breeders were helping the Keeneland November sale's prices to remain robust on Tuesday as the auction continued its second week.

Tuesday afternoon's highest prices went for horses from the WinStar Racing program, which Keeneland had arranged to sell on a Churchill dark day in order to draw as many trainers as possible.

"It was important that people be able to come out and look at the horses on the Monday and bid on them on Tuesday," Keeneland's director of sales, Geoffrey Russell, said.

Singletary, the 2004 Breeders' Cup Mile winner, will stand at Steve Sahadi's Cardiff Stud Farm in California, said Billy Koch, the head of the Little Red Feather partnership which raced Singletary, on Tuesday.

A son of Sultry Song, Singletary won graded stakes at ages 3-5, including the La Jolla Handicap, Arcadia Handicap, and Oak Tree Breeders' Cup Mile. He was trained by Don Chatlos.

LAS VEGAS - There are still a number of important stakes for juveniles who were either not ready for the Breeders' Cup or were not bred to get the 1 1/16 miles of the Juvenile. The Hollywood Prevue Stakes, a seven-furlong prep for the Hollywood Futurity - which will be run on Dec. 17 at 1 1/16 miles - was won last year by juvenile champion Declan's Moon, and in 2003 by Lion Heart, who went on to more glory at age 3. Past winners include Copelan, Judge Smells, King Glorious, Olympio, Star of the Crop, Stuka, Afternoon Deelites, and Cobra King.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Keeneland November mixed sale, which enjoyed a bullish market in its opening week, started its second week with a downturn but maintained strong figures overall.

Lots at $100,000 or more were plentiful at Saturday's sixth session of the Keeneland November breeding stock, as purchasers, apparently confident in the bloodstock business's future, bid aggressively for broodmares and weanlings.

The day's top lot at 4:30 p.m. was $290,000 Miraloma, a stakes-winning racemare who is out of the great broodmare Stick to Beauty. Twin Creeks Farm bought the mare.
