September Sales Talk: So Far So Good

September 21, 2010

We came through our Book Three sales in good order, with most of the yearlings selling to end users. The word among consignors after Book Two finished was “one bid over the reserve,” but we found most of ours going well past their reserves as the session progressed Sunday. There is plenty of activity back at the barn for horses listed as “RNA,” and it was quite a relief to be back in the familiar format of week two at Keeneland September.  Today we were back at the farm, clipping, pulling manes and putting on shoes, and we will ship Book Five yearlings into Barn 15 this afternoon.  I am looking forward to buyer reactions to this group…I hope they like the quality of the yearlings we saved for later in the sale.
