September Sale Changes At Keeneland
KENTUCKY...
Officials at Keeneland are making changes to the September Yearling Sale in an effort to improve sales. The Sale is the largest of its kind and a barometer for the thoroughbred market. Keeneland officials also want to make the two-week auction less of a grind for buyers and sellers. Changes include moving the sale's first two days Sunday and Monday nights rather than from Monday and Tuesday days, and featuring fewer yearlings. The Sale's first two days are when the best horses are sold.
