Eight Days in September

Though yesterday was Day 9 (Book 4, Day 1) of the Keeneland September sale, our review of the sale totals today covers the first eight days–the four days of Book 1 plus Books 2 and 3. After Tuesday’s Book 3, Day 2 session there were five days remaining of the sale, whereas last year there were just four days after the first eight were completed. As a result day-by-day comparisons will become less meaningful, which is why we decided to take a snapshot of those first eight days, which would be somewhat more like-for-like. We’ve also decided, at this point, to switch our coverage of sire averages back from just Keeneland to the entire sales season so far, which is what is covered in the Instatistics section of TDN.
