Keeneland Catalogs 295 Horses for Nov. 17 HORA Sale

Keeneland has announced 295 horses have been cataloged for the November Horses of Racing Age Sale to be held Nov. 17, the day after the conclusion of the November Breeding Stock Sale. The catalog is now online at Keeneland.com for the single-session auction for racehorses, which will start at noon ET to enable trainers and racing entities to complete their morning activities before the sale.

The online catalog for the November Horses of Racing Age Sale features Daily Racing Form and Equibase past performances along with Thoro-graph and Ragozin sheets, race replays, and more. Horses will be presented for sale at Keeneland but may be offered from off-site locations upon request.

A print catalog for the sale with Equibase past performances for the entrants will be available at Keeneland by Oct. 31.

"Racehorses have traditionally been a popular segment of the November Breeding Stock Sale, and this is the first year Keeneland is featuring them in a stand-alone auction," Keeneland director of sales operations Cormac Breathnach said. "Horses of racing age are an important aspect of the market, and this sale is growing to support the trade of racehorses as horsemen relocate to winter racing destinations. We are excited about what this sale offers and what it can become."

Supplements will be considered until sale date. Internet and phone bidding will be available. 

During last year's sale the Winstar Racing-consigned/bred Strava  sold for $825,000 to basketball's Denny Crum. The colt by Into Mischief   is out of the stakes-winning grade 1 placed Catch My Drift . At the time of the sale, the colt had made one start as a juvenile, winning a maiden special weight at Keeneland Oct. 9.

This year at 3, with trainer Dallas Stewart, the colt won at Churchill Downs in June and was placed in both the Runhappy Ellis Park Derby in August and the Harrods Creek Stakes in September. The colt races in partnership with WinStar Farm, Siena Farm, and Crum.

Horses of Racing Age Sale graduates from Keeneland November include grade 1 winners Shedaresthedevil  and Combatant  , grade 2 winner Stolen Base , and grade 3 winner Bob and Jackie .

Keeneland's November Breeding Stock Sale will have 10 sessions, starting with a single-day Book 1 on Monday, Nov. 7, and continuing with two sessions in each subsequent book through Wednesday, Nov. 16. A total of 3,698 horses have been cataloged for the sale.

The November Breeding Stock Sale immediately follows the Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland Nov. 4-5.
