Keeneland has cataloged 4,509 horses for its 2018 November Breeding Stock Sale, which will run Nov. 5-16. The catalogue is available online and the print version will be mailed out the week of Oct. 15.
The 4,509 horses in the November Sale catalog include 2,257 broodmares and racing or broodmare prospects, 1,788 weanlings, 453 horses of racing age and 11 stallions. Two horses are late entries to the auction.
“The strong global appeal of the November Sale sets it apart from all other breeding stock sales,” Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said. “This auction is the primary source for domestic and international buyers for stakes-winning fillies and stakes-producing mares in foal to the world's most exciting stallions while being a key market for weanlings and horses of racing age. We look forward to the November Sale building on the strength of the recent September Sale and the excitement of the Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs.”
In a change of format for 2018, the November Sale will open Monday, Nov. 5 at 12p.m., with an exclusive Book 1 session featuring 247 horses. The remaining sessions will begin at 10a.m.
Book 1 highlights include champion Lady Eli (Divine Park), who is carrying her first foal by War Front; and Grade I winners Dream Tree (Uncle Mo), Lady Ivanka (Tiz Wonderful), Sailor's Valentine (Mizzen Mast) and Vasilika (Skipshot). The weanling portion is headlined by half-sister to champions Arrogate and Honor Code.
The November Sale also includes the dispersal of Edward A. Cox, for whom Claiborne Farm will serve as agent. The Cox dispersal has cataloged 22 horses, including broodmares and weanlings.
