Keeneland has cataloged 1,317 horses, including five horses in the latest round of supplements, for the 68th annual Horses of All Ages Sale, which starts Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. ET. The auction offers broodmares and broodmare prospects, recently turned yearlings and horses of racing age along with stallions and stallion prospects during three sessions through Jan. 15.
Each session of the January Sale will start at 10 a.m. The auction will be livestreamed at Keeneland.com. FanDuel TV will have coverage Sunday and Monday.
"We are excited to kick off the new year with the January Sale and the terrific opportunities it offers to breeders, pinhookers and end users," Keeneland vice president of sales Tony Lacy said. "Given the recent snowfall in Lexington, our maintenance team has worked hard to ensure roadways, show rings and barns are clear and ready for the sale. We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and share updates as needed."
The current forecast calls for 2-6 inches of snow Jan. 10 in Lexington. Keeneland officials said they did not envision postponing the sale.
