Keeneland has supplemented eight horses, including multiple grade 3 winner Dolce Zel  and stakes winner Good Sam , to the 2024 January Horses of All Ages Sale. A total of 1,467 broodmares and broodmare prospects, newly turned yearlings, horses of racing age, stallions, and stallion prospects are cataloged to the sale, covering four sessions from Jan. 8-11, 2024. 

Consigned by Mill Ridge Sales, as a broodmare prospect, Dolce Zel concluded her racing career in Nov. at Del Mar by winning the Kathryn Crosby Stakes. The daughter of Zelzal  was a winner in her native France and in 2022 won or placed in five of six races—all stakes—led by victories in the Lake George Stakes (G3T) at Saratoga Race Course and the Florida Oaks (G3T) at Tampa Bay Downs. She also placed in graded stakes at Keeneland and Churchill Downs

Good Sam followed an impressive debut maiden special weight victory with a 3 1/2-length score in the 2022 Tempted Stakes as a juvenile. This year at 3, she registered a 95 Equibase Speed Figure in winning a second-level allowance optional claimer at the Belmont at the Big A meet while defeating older fillies by 3 1/2 lengths. First or second in five of her six lifetime starts, Good Sam is by Good Samaritan   out of the Twirling Candy   mare Twizzler and from the family of grade 1 winner Twist Afleet. Consigned by ELiTE, she is offered as a broodmare prospect.
