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.

Singletary, 5, made his final start in this year's Breeders' Cup Mile at Belmont Park. He finished his career with 8 wins from 22 starts and earnings of $1,754,312.

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.

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.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Anyone stopping by Darby Dan Farm on Wednesday morning to look at stallions around 10 a.m. witnessed a curious scene. A Brinks armored truck pulled up in front of the farm's colonnaded main house, where Thoroughbred breeder and renowned geologist Charles Fipke and a crowd of about 15 spectators stood waiting. A Brinks guard emerged from the truck and, after collecting Fipke's signature, handed him a clear plastic bag containing a box about 8 inches square.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A day after seeing Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Stevie Wonderboy's dam sell for $1.1 million, Keeneland's November mixed sale continued to confound bidders hoping for bargains. In its fifth day Friday, the 12-session auction was still reeling off high prices for both mares and weanlings, as major buyers were still on hand to clash over choice lots.

Leroidesanimaux, a multiple Grade 1 winner and runner-up to Artie Schiller in the Breeders' Cup Mile, has been retired to stud at Stonewall Farm in Versailles, Ky. A 5-year-old Candy Stripes horse, Leroidesanimaux will stand for a $30,000 fee, the farm announced Friday.

Winter Garden, one of Canada's top fillies last year, brought a whopping $575,000 at the first session of the Keeneland November sale last week, a fairytale ending for owner Frank DiGiulio Jr. and trainer Robert Tiller.

Originally a $30,000 yearling purchase by Tiller, Winter Garden won 12 of 18 starts, six stakes and more than $902,000.

A Kentucky-bred daughter of Roy out of the Canadian-bred Bold Ruckus mare Hillsburgh Rumors, Winter Garden was bred this spring to Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Speightstown and sold in foal to that stallion.
