LEXINGTON, KY (Aug. 11, 2026) – Keeneland has cataloged 4,635 horses for the 83rd edition of the internationally significant September Yearling Sale, which will cover 12 sessions from Monday, Sept. 14 through Saturday, Sept. 26.
The 2026 catalog features horses by 189 sires, including 24 first-crop sires represented by 1,072 yearlings.
Last year’s September Sale was the world’s highest-grossing Thoroughbred auction in history with more than $531.7 million in sales for 3,078 horses.
The number of million-dollar horses (56) along with the average price ($172,755) and the median price ($80,000) all set records for the sale.
