Keeneland has cataloged a total of 1,796 horses for its 2016 January Horses of All Ages Sale to be held Jan. 11-15. The catalog includes 624 broodmares, 181 broodmare prospects, 729 yearlings, 251 horses of racing age and 11 stallions and stallion prospects. The online catalog will be available Tuesday and print catalogs will be mailed the week of Dec. 21.
“The January Sale is noted for high-quality broodmare prospects and short yearlings, and it gives breeders some final opportunities to obtain stock as breeding season nears,” Keeneland Director of Sales Geoffrey Russell said. “We look for the upcoming sale to be a solid auction that continues the strengths of the market seen during the November Breeding Stock Sale.”
Stallions represented either by yearlings or in-foal broodmares include Bernardini, Bodemeister, City Zip, Giant's Causeway, Into Mischief, Malibu Moon, Orb, Pioneerof the Nile, Scat Daddy, Tapit, Uncle Mo and War Front.
The auction also features two dispersals: that of the estate of Eric A. Delvalle, consigned by Brandywine Farms, agent; and of the estate of Sarah J. Leigh, Denali Stud, agent.
“Gerald Leigh was arguably one of the finest breeders I have known in my lifetime, and his accomplishments were recognized internationally,” said Denali Stud's Craig Bandoroff. “His daughter, Sara Jane, followed in his footsteps and had great passion for the breeding business. The high regard the industry has for the Leigh's horses was clearly displayed in Newmarket this week, highlighted by Seta (GB) selling for 1.1 million guineas. Denali Stud is honored to be handling the North American portion of the dispersal at Keeneland January.”
Sessions begin at 10 a.m. ET each day. The sale will be streamed live on Keeneland.com.
