4,509 Horses Catalogued for Keeneland November

Media Release - Thursday October 4

Keeneland has cataloged 4,509 horses for its 2018 November Breeding Stock Sale, the world's largest and most important sale of its kind, to be held Nov 5-16.

 Headlining the November Sale catalog are graded stakes winners and graded stakes producers, led by champion Lady Eli, in foal to War Front; Grade 1 stakes winners Dream Tree, Lady Ivanka, Sailor's Valentine, Vasilika and Zipessa, the latter in foal to Medaglia d'Oro; and Grade 2 winner Ollie's Candy.

November Sale catalogs are available on Keeneland.com. Print catalogs will be mailed the week of Oct. 15.

"The strong global appeal of the November Sale sets it apart from all other breeding stock sales," Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said. "This auction is the primary source for domestic and international buyers for stakes-winning fillies and stakes-producing mares in foal to the world's most exciting stallions while being a key market for weanlings and horses of racing age. We look forward to the November Sale building on the strength of the recent September Sale and the excitement of the Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs."

In a change of format for 2018, the November Sale will open Monday, Nov. 5, with an exclusive Book 1 session featuring 247 graded stakes-winning fillies and mares and notable weanlings.

Among the highly prized offerings cataloged in Book 1 are:
