 Walking videos of Keeneland September yearlings now online August 22, 2007 In an effort to help buyers sift through the record 5,553 horses consigned to this year’s Keeneland September Yearling Sale, Lantern Hill Farm has posted videos of the 15 yearlings in its consignment on its website.
This marks the third year Lantern Hill has featured online videos of its Keeneland September yearlings. Each 45-second video includes a head shot of the yearling and several angles of the horse being hand-walked at the farm.
“Keeneland September has become such a huge global market,” said Lantern Hill's owner/general manager, Suzi Shoemaker. “By offering online videos, we hope agents and owners have a chance to see the horses before they arrive in Lexington. Since our yearlings are raised and prepped here, we can present each horse in its natural environment, and give prospective buyers a unique viewpoint.”
The Lantern Hill consignment includes yearlings by such successful stallions as Awesome Again, Seeking the Gold and Tale of the Cat, as well as members of the first crops of foals by Candy Ride (Arg), Congaree, Pleasantly Perfect and Toccet.
The Keeneland September Yearling Sale runs from September 10-25. Lantern Hill invites prospective buyers to call the farm for more information or to make an appointment to inspect the yearlings. For more information, call (859) 846-5552.
