"November Foals continue to deliver, from countless pinhooking success stories to recent group 1 graduates such as Caballo de Mar, Field of Gold, Pierre Bonnard, Power Blue and many more. Whether buying to pinhook or to race, buyers will find exceptional opportunity throughout this catalog." The November Foal Sale will be followed by the November Breeding Stock Sale Nov. 20-21, featuring the inaugural Chicquita Session of elite fillies and broodmares Friday evening. That catalog will be published Oct. 14.
