Media Release - Wednesday December 6

Keeneland has cataloged 1,582 horses for its 60th January Horses of All Ages Sale, to be held January 8-11, 2018 including yearlings by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.

The catalog includes 677 broodmares and broodmare prospects, 628 yearlings, 264 horses of racing age, and 13 stallions and racing or stallion prospects.
