Keeneland November to Offer D. J. Stable Reduction
Keeneland announced Aug. 14 that Leonard and Jon Green's D. J. Stable, one of North America's most respected and accomplished racing operations, will offer a curated reduction of its bloodstock portfolio at this year's Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, which begins Nov. 4. The group will be consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency. "This is a one-time offering—strategic and deliberate, not something we plan to do annually," Leonard Green said. "From a business perspective, there's no better time to capitalize on opportunities in the breeding industry. The 'Big Beautiful Bill' is strategically crafted to offer compelling incentives for high net worth individuals to invest in broodmares, making it both a smart financial move and a savvy tax strategy." D. J. Stable's Keeneland November offering will reflect the caliber of horses that have long defined the Green family's approach to racing and breeding. For more than four decades, D. J. Stable has earned more than 2,600 wins with more than 150 stakes victories; earned 14 leading owner titles across major racing jurisdictions; and raced Eclipse Award and Sovereign Award winners. The stable has bred or raced a number of standouts on its own and in various partnerships. They include champions Wonder Wheel, Jaywalk, and Nitrogen, and grade 1 winners Do It With Style, Hoppertunity, November Snow, and Sandman. "D. J. Stable has been developing their broodmare operation for decades," Taylor Made president and CEO Mark Taylor said. "This is a unique opportunity for buyers to access quality bloodstock and turnkey mares who can offer an immediate return on investment in 2026 and beyond." "This reduction is a nice standard of quality," Keeneland vice president of sales Tony Lacy said. "D. J. Stable has always approached the sport with professionalism and purpose, and this consignment is no exception. It's a unique opportunity for buyers to invest in proven bloodlines from a first-class operation. Keeneland is pleased to sell these horses for the Greens, and we look forward to them remaining active buyers at future Keeneland sales." While their November Sale reduction represents a meaningful milestone, the Greens remain as committed as ever to the sport. D. J. Stable will continue to be active in racing and at future sales, with plans to invest in new opportunities and further grow their presence in the sport. The operation already has invested more than $2 million in yearlings during this summer's sales season, underscoring the Greens' ongoing commitment to building for the future. Details of the D. J. Stable consignment, including offerings, will be released in the coming weeks along with the November Breeding Stock Sale catalog.
