The average of $503,000 was up from last year\u2019s $500,833, while the median dipped 11.11% from $450,000 to $400,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cThere was a lot of energy in the Sales Pavilion today; it was so fun to see so many people here,\u201d Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said. \u201cMany of them were buyers and were participating, and you also had a lot of people that were just interested in seeing the sales process. We work really hard to make sure the community understands the importance of the sales and the Thoroughbred industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cThe results today were very comparable to last year\u2019s first session, and last year was a sensational sale,\u201d Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. \u201cOver the last couple of days people have been energized by the quality of horses cataloged. They said it\u2019s the best group of horses they\u2019ve seen in the first two sessions probably in 10-15 years, which is really encouraging. I think it\u2019s a testament to the breeders and the quality of horses they are breeding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">The diversity of buyers participating in today\u2019s session was borne out by the fact that the top 10 highest-priced horses were purchased by 10 different interests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cIt\u2019s really encouraging when you have a stat like that,\u201d Lacy said. \u201cIt\u2019s unhealthy when you get one or two entities controlling the market. It\u2019s important when people come here that they feel like they have a chance of buying something. They are spending quite a bit of real money in order to get some of the best bloodstock in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361ydpc41a2527yiv6214339596msonormal\">The session-topping filly, who was consigned by Gainesway, agent, is out of Grade 3 winner Delightful Joy, by Tapit, and is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Window Shopping. She is from the family of Grade 3 winners Graeme Six and Cali Star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cI honestly thought she would bring every bit of $1.5 (million),\u201d Gainesway General Manager Brian Graves said. \u201cShe\u2019s a top physical, out of a Grade 3-winning Tapit mare who\u2019s already produced a Grade 2 winner, who is still performing on the track. She was one of the best-looking yearlings I saw this year. We thought that (high price) could happen. From the first time you looked at that filly, you thought that could happen. It\u2019s a pleasant surprise but not shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">A colt by Uncle Mo who is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner and sire Collected sold to Zedan Racing, for $2 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6980\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6980\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6980\" src=\"https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-1536x1051.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2023\/09\/ScenicsKS9-23KLD1204-2048x1401.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scenics, 2023 Keeneland September Yearling Sale<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">, agent, consigned the colt, who is out of the winning Johannesburg mare Helena Bay (GB) and from the family of Group 2 winner Royal Kingdom (IRE) and stakes winners Koala Princess, Artilena and Woodwin W.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cImagine selling your horse for two million dollars \u2013 there\u2019s no words for that,\u201d Runnymede\u2019s Romain Malhouitre said. \u201cThe horse has been awesome since he arrived on Thursday. Showed very well. We knew we had plenty of interest, but you never know. So we are delighted that everybody believed in the horse and the breeders and the land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">Jersey City Destroyers Stable paid $1.7 million for a colt by Into Mischief who is a half-brother to 2023 Suburban (G2) winner Charge It. Consigned by Gainesway, agent, he is out of the Indian Charlie mare I\u2019ll Take Charge, a daughter of Kentucky Broodmare of the Year Take Charge Lady, and from the family of champions Will Take Charge and Take Charge Brandi and Grade 1 winner and sire Omaha Beach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">The colt was bred by Mandy Pope, who sold horses for the first time with Gainesway. The group included another seven-figure horse, a colt by Into Mischief purchased by Grandview Equine for $1.1 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cIt\u2019s been a wonderful day,\u201d Pope said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been selling, and we have not been able to buy anything. We\u2019ve been selling well, and we\u2019re ecstatic about that. It takes a long time to get (a first-class broodmare band) off the ground and going. Fingers crossed, we will continue with a lot of racing success in the future, and breeding and selling success. We had high expectations coming in, and you always panic at the last minute. Gainesway has done a wonderful job selling yearlings for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">Gainesway led all consignors Monday by selling 12 yearlings for $9,610,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">Winchell Thoroughbreds went to $1.4 million for a colt by Into Mischief who is the first foal out of multiple Grade 1 winner Guarana, by Ghostzapper. Consigned by Hill \u2018n\u2019 Dale at Xalapa, agent, he is from the family of Grade 1 winner Pleasant Home and stakes winners Beatbox and Magic Dance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cObviously the first foal out of an amazing racemare,\u201d Ron Winchell said. \u201cWe\u2019re the lucky or unlucky ones to be the last ones with our hand up. Dr. (David) Lambert with Equine Analysis (Systems) loved him, and that\u2019s all I needed to hear. Do I need to say anything about Into Mischief?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cIt\u2019s a great result for a great mare,\u201d said John G. Sikura of Hill \u2018n\u2019 Dale at Xalapa. \u201cInto Mischiefs are obviously magical horses. No matter the sire, you have to meet the scrutiny of the buyers at the upper end. The horse moved very well. Has a lot of bone, looks sound. One of the astute guys in the business who has had great success bought him. I hope this is his next big horse. We\u2019re excited and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">Two colts by Uncle Mo sold for $1.35 million apiece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361ydpc41a2527yiv6214339596msonormal\">The partnership of Sonson, Woodford, West Point, LEB, agent, acquired the first, a half-brother to champion Midnight Bisou, 2023 Indiana Derby (G3) winner Verifying and stakes winner Stage Left. He was consigned by Hunter Valley Farm, agent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cI think this colt is going to be a big winner,\u201d said Chuck Sonson, who owns an aviation company and is becoming involved in racing. \u201cWe are very excited.\u00a0We researched him a lot. We are happy to be close to the sale topper. We will get more. This is just the beginning, we hope. I love Lexington. This is my first time in Lexington.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cWe knew he was a lovely horse,\u201d Fergus Galvin of Hunter Valley said. \u201cHe had the right pedigree. Deep down we were hoping he would get into the seven-figure range. We\u2019re thrilled. We bought the mare, Diva Delite, several years ago carrying Verifying. We gave a good number for her, but she\u2019s paid us back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">Also selling for $1.35 million was a son of Uncle Mo purchased by M.V. Magnier. Consigned by Penn Sales, agent for Bar C Racing Stables, the colt is out of the War Front mare Forever for Now and from the family of leading sire Galileo (IRE) and other European standouts such as Black Sam Bellamy and Sea the Stars along with Grade 1 winner My Typhoon (IRE).<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cHe is a very nice horse,\u201d Magnier said. \u201c(Longtime Coolmore adviser) Paul Shanahan really liked him when he saw him the other day. He is a nice athletic horse. He will stay here for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cWow,\u201d John Penn said in celebrating the first seven-figure horse sold by Penn Sales. \u201cHe is a very pretty, nice-moving horse. If he can run, he\u2019ll make a stallion. (Breeders Pam and Neal Christopherson) had sold an Uncle Mo previously for a lot of money and needed to buy a mare, and they bought this mare (Forever for Now) in foal to him (at Keeneland\u2019s 2021 November Breeding Stock Sale). Obviously they hit a home run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361ydpc41a2527yiv6214339596msonormal\">Purchased by Grandview Equine was a colt by Into Mischief out of multiple Grade 1 winner American Gal, by Concord Point, and from the family of Grade\/Group 1 winners Seventh Street and Reynaldothewizard. He was the first seller of the day for breeder Mandy Pope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cReally nice colt out of a great mare, great family,\u201d Robert N. Clay of Grandview Equine said. \u201cHe went for plenty of money, but he really checks all the boxes for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">\u201cThe horse was drop-dead gorgeous and by the right sire and out of a Grade 1 winner, a young mare who was precocious,\u201d Gainesway\u2019s Brian Graves said. \u201cThere were a lot of top people on the horse, and we thought something like that might happen. It\u2019s good to see Mandy Pope selling million-dollar horses. When your first horse in the ring brings a million dollars, I hope it bodes well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361MsoNormal\">Selling for $1 million to John Stewart was a colt by Into Mischief who is a full brother to multiple Grade 1 winner and sire Practical Joke. Consigned by Eaton Sales, agent, he is out of Halo Humor, by Distorted Humor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8056611361ydpc41a2527yiv6214339596msonormal\" style=\"text-align: left\">The session\u2019s leading buyer was West Bloodstock, agent for Repole Stable, who spent $3,345,000 for 10 horses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Immediate Release Click&nbsp;here&nbsp;for a video of Hip 92, an Into Mischief filly sold for $2.3 million LEXINGTON, KY (Sept. 11, 2023) &ndash;&nbsp;Keeneland&rsquo;s 80th&nbsp;September Yearling Sale began Monday with robust trade that produced healthy results and the sale of eight horses for $1 million or more headlined by an Into Mischief filly sold for $2.3 million to Shadwell Racing and an Uncle Mo colt for $2 million, purchased by Donato Lanni, agent for Zedan Racing.
