Updated: February 3, 2021 at 12:47 pm
Keeneland will host an April Horses of Racing Age Sale at the start of GI Kentucky Derby week on Monday, Apr. 26. The sale will be an integrated event, with live auctioneers at Keeneland, and horses presented for sale both physically at Keeneland as well as at off-site locations at the choice of the sellers and consignors. Internet bidding will also be offered.
“Keeneland is excited to have the April Sale to showcase horses in training during the racing season,” Keeneland President, CEO and Interim Head of Sales Shannon Arvin said. “Our goal with this innovative format is to provide flexibility for both buyers and sellers. For their convenience, buyers may attend the sale or participate via the internet. Sellers have the option to send their horses to Keeneland or keep them at the race track where they are in training. We hope this unique marketplace facilitates vibrant trade.”
Entries for the sale will be taken Mar. 1 through Apr. 5. An enhanced digital-only catalog with walking videos, racing videos, past performances and other information will be available on keeneland.com starting Apr. 13.
