All these factors will be working in the favor of Lane's End's Quality Road and Spendthrift Farm's Into Mischief at the upcoming Keeneland September Yearling Sale, where these two shooting stars in the U.S. stallion ranks are expected to see their commercial value arc even higher. Among the leading Keeneland September Sale sires as determined by their most recent three-year averages, Quality Road is the hottest "trending" sire.
