Keeneland's 83rd November Breeding Stock Sale will kick off Nov. 3—three days after the track hosts the Breeders' Cup World Championships for the fourth time—with 3,397 horses cataloged to nine sessions through Nov. 11.
The catalog features accomplished broodmare prospects, proven mares in foal to leading stallions, and well-bred weanlings by prominent stallions and popular young sires. It is available at catalog.keeneland.com. Horses in the catalog include the first mares in foal to Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mystik Dan , as well as champions Citizen Bull , Fierceness , Sierra Leone , and Straight No Chaser . The catalog also has the first weanlings by Preakness Stakes (G1) winner Seize the Grey , Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Dornoch , and champion National Treasure .
In addition, the November Sale catalog has several dispersals, including the previously announced Complete Dispersal of Aaron and Marie Jones consisting of nine horses: five broodmares in foal to Candy Ride , Goal Oriented , Into Mischief , and Tapit , and four weanlings by Into Mischief, Nyquist , and Tapit. Taylor Made Sales Agency will handle the consignment.
"In late October and early November, the connection between racing and sales really comes to life here with the Keeneland Championship Sale at historic Castleton, the Breeders' Cup World Championships, the November Breeding Stock Sale and the Horses of Racing Age Sale," Keeneland president and CEO Shannon Arvin said. "There's a real advantage to being both a racetrack and a sales company. The success we have in the sales ring and in racing allows us to continue investing in projects and endeavors that are important to the future of our sport. When you put all of that together, it creates tremendous opportunity for the Thoroughbred industry and, ultimately, for the horse."
The November Breeding Stock Sale will open with a single-day Book 1 with a select group of 258 broodmares, broodmare prospects and weanlings in the catalog. The session begins at 1 p.m. ET. Keeneland will accept select supplements to Book 1 until the auction starts.
