Over 12 sessions, the sale rewrote records by selling 3,070 horses for a total of $531.5 million: the highest gross ever realized at a Thoroughbred auction worldwide.
• Record session average and median ($675,180/$550,000) were set on Day 2, which broke records in both categories set the previous day.
• Each of the first four sessions posted a record average and median for the respective sessions.
“Obviously you have to prep the owners that it’s a record sale and be careful: Don’t get caught up in just buying a horse.
During Saturday’s final session, Keeneland sold 230 yearlings for $3,600,200, up 35.24% from last year’s gross of $2,662,000 for 203 yearlings sold in Session 12.
