Keeneland Book 1, Week 2

Book 1 is “in the books’, as they say, with mixed reviews–primarily logistic: should 760 horses be spread over four days, or would it work more efficiently over three? Should Book 1 in fact go back to two days? These are questions Keeneland will be considering when all the dust settles, and it is certainly the case that sales companies are the quickest to adapt format changes, so I’m sure nothing is ruled in or out. Consignors and buyers alike have plenty of input into the process, and there are logistical limitations to do with the number of barns and movement of horses in and out. So those issues can be deferred while we get on with the rest of the sale, or, as some like to call it the ‘real’ sale.
