FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim

NEW RULES Due to a $40-million drop in Sheikh Mohammed's yearling spending, Keeneland September's flagship Book 1 was down $37.5 million, almost exactly 20 percent of the gross. But the strength of Book 2-- Wednesday and Thursday--demonstrated the depth of the market. Book 2 was up $7.8 million in gross, or 9 percent, from just over $90 million last year to $97,913,500 this year. The Book 2 average was up 13 percent to $189,388. Most significantly, the median for the first two books combined was actually up 8 percent from $185,000 last year to $200,000 this year. Keeneland Sales Director Geoff Russell referred to the median as Athe statistic we all look at.@ Well, it=s the statistic we all look at when it suits us, but in this case, it is a better measurement of the market than the Book 1-2 average, naturally down 10 percent because prices are top-heavy in Book 1. If class is a pyramid--which it is--perhaps we can best describe what has happened in the market so far as the shape of the pyramid changing. When Sadler's Wells and Storm Cat were in their heydays--and they were the top young sires with APEX ratings in the 4s and 5s-- the angle of the pyramid was steeper. There was more (859) 233-4252 of a gap between the value of the very top sires and www.claibornefarm.com second-tier sires. Now, in the days of double-size books and 75 horses by one sire (see Giant's Causeway) in Now the Europeans come to America because the the first two books, the gap between the two tiers is dollar is in the ashcan, but they're somewhat scratching narrower, and the angle of the class pyramid is leveling their heads as to what they should buy. out to some extent.

Meanwhile, Book 3 kicks off this morning with a renewed air of optimism following Book 2's strong performance (aside from the 7-1 percent clearance rate, especially considering 76 percent sold in Book 1), and yesterday's breather day.
