Fasig Tipton Nov sale vs Keenland Nov sale
Question, is the Fasig Tipton Nov sale considered a much higher end sale than the Keenland?.
F-T is certainly trying to position it that way.
It's a very small sale--about 40% the size of KeeNov Book 1--so they can certainly afford to be very select. That said, probably half the top mares will go to F-T and the other half will go to Keeneland book 1.
The F-T sale will end up with a higher average and median than Keeneland because it's a one night, 4 hour sale, as opposed to Keeneland's complete 12 days during which offerings will run the gamut from fabulous to not-so-hot.

In the Keeneland sale, the quality will be highest in book 1, then book 2, then book 3, and so on down the line. In the F-T sale, the dams will be listed alphabetically from start to finish with no regard to quality--however in this particlular F-T sale, the quality will be very very high throughout.
