The cost of selling at Keenland
This is our first yearling sale and I called, but the info won't be sent out til April 1, but can anyone tell me the fees charged, such as entry fee, book fees ( I heard they had one for that), commission fee, etc.....Thanks.
I think it's $1,000 to enter the sale, payable in 2 installments of $500 each. Then Keeneland charges a 4.5% commission on the sale--with the 1K included in that. Which was what Madelyn was talking about when she said they don't charge a commission below 22K--you've already paid it through your entry fee.

Yeah, the link said $1000 but nothing about installments. The $500 catalog fee, is that part of the $1000 or is it another seperate fee ? It's nice to hear that $1000 is part of the commission. The info for the sales not going out til April 1st.
I don't know what you mean by the catalogue fee. I believe you pay $500 to nominate a horse to the sale. The second $500 is due sometime later (perhaps when the book is printed?) Anyway it's not a separate fee.
The best way to get the right information would be to call Keeneland. They're very nice and helpful on the phone.

I got that from inquiry another time on here. Someone had said it was $500 to entry and $500 to have them placed in the catalog. Any way you slice it it's still $1000 , lol....I'm sure by the time I get my info and my yearling walks thru the ring in Sept, me and the sales staff at Keenland will be on first name basis
