Keeneland September (12-25) Yearling Sale

I don't really get why they are only covering 2 of 3 of the Book 1 days, though.

It's possible that, starting on Wednesdays, their contractual obligations with racetracks pretty much fill their hours of programming.
But I also wonder if Britney was going to the sales anyway, and the channel is taking advantage of having someone there (without having to pay for her airfare?).

She may be with her father, Peter, as he shops for horses for his clients.

He is gorgeous. I assume his mane will darken over time.
I've never heard of a mane that darkens with age. What makes you think that, out of curiosity?

Bob Baffert had a horse named Flame Thrower awhile ago. He looked alot like this colt but after he went to stud, I heard that his mane and tail both turned the same color as his body. This pic, which is of course the only one I can find after he went to stud does not show his mane. I included a pic of him during his racing days after.

I can't link this one but look how light his tail is in this one: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news- ... oto/654824 (this was while he was training toward this Breeders Cup at 2)

This pic is from the Triple Crown trail at 3:

That Tapit filly (#312) is very attractive. I've seen enough adult flaxen-maned chestnuts to think that she is going to get to keep her blonde locks for a while.

Interesting I wonder what kind of gene factors are at play! I do think she's darker than that colt was though, she looks almost like a liver chestnut w flaxen, so even if her mane darkens I am not sure it will catch up to the rest of her colour.

Also: It begins today!

I thought the fillies from Day 2 and Day 3 of Book 1 were a little better/deeper than Day 1. I liked one of the Tapit fillies today (#138) and the Curlin filly (#39)

That full to Social Inclusion is really handsome. Nicely put together... 475 000$

Treve · Mon Sep 12, 2016 11:35 am

Ouch, I expected it to be rough but damn...

Treve · Mon Sep 12, 2016 11:39 am

Full to Candy Boy just became the new topper hammering at 525 000$

Hip 48 first to 7 figures at $1 million. Medaglia d'Oro colt out of Spring Party.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:02 pm

77 was a good looking full to Colonel John and Mr. Hot Stuff...and went for only $150,000.

I suspect the sales are going to see the yearlings by Tapit, War Front, late Scat Daddy or a few other premiere stallions go high, and the rest of the crop may go low.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:14 pm

87, Tiznow x Tar Heel Mom, is a big, good-looking boy...goes for $500,000.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:21 pm

90 is a full to Donworth...$675,000, if I caught the price right.
92, the Tapit/Tempting Note colt, full to Dance Card, should bring $$$,$$$...goes for $400,000.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:25 pm

Ooh...95 is MdO x Theyskens Theory, pretty filly...$325,000.
ETA: RNA
Also, 99, the full to Paynter who hammered at $235,000, was an RNA.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:36 pm

103, War Front x Treasure Trail, ridgling full to Long Island Song, has a lot of attitude...and headed toward a million...goes for $950,000.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:38 pm

104 is interesting, flaxen-maned Union Rags colt out of the mare who produced Hawkbill. Oops...missed the price.

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:42 pm

107, War Front x Turbulent Descent filly, goes for only $185,000.

Thanks. I suspect that she is not going back to Union Rags soon...after the success by Hawkbill, pretty sure that she's going to be seeing a lot of Kitten's Joy.
