Keeneland September Sale

A.P. Indy sold for 4.2 million. Second dam is the dam of Zenyatta....possibly more a factor than A.P.

It certainly didn't detract from the colt's value that his dam is a G1 winner, as well.

So far, so good as far as the sale goes. For the first session, the average was up nearly 50%, the median was up 25%.

Session topper was an A.P. Indy colt o/o Balance who sold for 4.2M, the highest price since 2006.

Not to mention the fact that the first book looks like a compilation of the best that an old Keeneland July Sale compared to last year's first book that looked like a normal Keeneland September. I wonder if those consignor's of #3, #15, #16, #19, #21, #29, #43, #56, #87 and #95 are that impressed ???

So what's your point? That a sale isn't going well unless every horse brings a million? That we should all ignore the fact of the poor economy in assessing how it going? It could have been a whole lot worse than it was last night. Like I said, so far, so good.

Sheikh Mohammed bought 1 and Coolmore bought 1 and the world didn't end-- to me that says that the market currently has a broader range of buyers willing to spend significant money. I can't see how that's a bad thing.

I love Keeneland Smile

It's so beautiful, the horses look fantastic (at least the majority do) and the food and company is great.

#14 was a pretty outstanding looking colt to match his page.

Well, I saw him on Youtube, can't believe this is a yearling, but I guess he takes after the family!

session 2 - 58 sold out of 102.
8 sold for $100k or less.

1 bought by Sheikh Mohammed and 0 bought by Coolmore, so far so good.

Did anyone see the Giant's Causeway Honey Ryder colt (believe it was Hip 155)? I couldn't believe he went for only $30k. Does anyone know what the problem was?

A lot of very well bread yearlings selling very cheaply. Amazing how it has changed since 2005. At that sale, Hip #836 was the 42nd seven figure yearling in the sale. What have we this year 3? 4?
