First-crop sires and veteran stallions are represented in Lantern Hill Farm’s consignment of 15 horses to this year’s Keeneland September Yearling Sale from September 10-25.
The group includes members of the first crops of foals by Argentine champion and Pacific Classic (G1) winner Candy Ride (Arg); multiple Grade 1 winner and classic-placed Congaree; Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) winner Pleasantly Perfect and multiple Grade 1 winner Toccet.
“We are pleased to represent this very athletic group of yearlings, which were bred and raised with the goal of racing, not selling,” said Lantern Hill general manager Suzi Shoemaker. “We plan to have all the yearlings on the farm for viewing this year prior to the sales, and encourage potential buyers to call for an appointment.”
