Big Gains in Average, Median... It was another heartening day of horse trading at Keeneland September. The second of three Book 2 sessions concluded with big increases in average and median, and for the first time during a sale, the clearance rate edged past the 75% mark. Average for the session was $152,649, up 25.4% from a year ago; the session median of $130,000 was up 52.9%; and the 66 horses that RNA=d equated to a rate of 23.5%. Keeneland Vice President of Sales Walt Robertson said good horses, and a stronger concentration of them because of a slimmed-down Book 2, were the reasons for the increases. AWhen you take quarter of the deal away, it tightens up selection,@ he said. Keeneland Director of Sales Geoffrey Russell, adding that the four- session Book 2 from a year ago was probably too big, elaborated, AOur goal last year was to put as many horses in front of people before the break,@ he said. AI think we outdid ourselves on that, and by taking those horses out, we brought these other horses to the fore. For the most part, the lower-end horses have been pushed back. They are not all back there yet, but we're getting there. The selection process has worked. We've worked with our consignors to put this together--it's not just us. We work with them to find the horses we believe belong in this book. It's an ongoing process. This year we tried it, and next year we'll try it again, and hopefully, we'll tighten down again.@ Inquiries to Kyle Wilson [email protected] Big Gains cont. The three previous sessions of September saw the buy-back rate hovering around the 30% mark, and Russell gave further credit to consignors. AThey adjusted to the market and are not being overly bullish,@ said Russell. AThey are being conservative on their reserves. So they are letting the market dictate what the horses are worth. And they've done a very, very good job.@ (718) 978-8200 www.mersant.com Thoroughbred Daily News is: Barry Weisbord President/Co-Publisher Sue Finley Vice President/Co-Publisher KEENELAND SEPTEMBER YEARLING SALE Vicki Forbes Director of Customer Services Wednesday, September 14 Andy Belfiore Editor-in-Chief Alycia Borer Director of Advertising SESSION: 2011 2010 Jessica Martini Senior Editor Catalogued 311 326 Alan Carasso Associate Editor No. Offered 281 292 Marie Kizenko Associate Editor No. Sold 215 196 Christina Bossinakis Associate Editor RNAs 66 96 Lucas Marquardt Associate Editor % RNAs 23.5% 32.8% Steve Sherack Writer/Reporter No. $500K+ 4 2 Brian DiDonato Writer/Reporter Gary King Marketing Manager High Price $650,000 $700,000 Lia Kusch Senior Advertising Designer Gross $32,819,500 $23,859,000 Sarah K.

AHe=ll have every opportunity, and I think he=s a wonderful horse. He was shown a lot back at the barn, and he was always so good. He=s got the right temperament to be a good racehorse, and I hope they have a lot of luck.@ The colt=s second dam is Claiborne=s multiple stakes- winning homebred Thread (Topsider), and while his dam Bobbin was another Claiborne homebred, she took a somewhat circuitous route to the historic farm=s breeding shed. That=s because Claiborne offered Bobbin as a yearling at the 2004 Keeneland September Sale, where she sold to Ray Bauch for $100,000. Racing for Blyar Stable, Bobbin earned over $32,000 on the track for trainers Todd Pletcher and Michael Matz. Bobbin was put back through the Keeneland January sale in 2008, and Seth Hancock brought her back into the Claiborne fold with a successful $175,000 offer. The War Front colt was Bobbin=s second produce. AThat female family=s been good to us, and we=ll keep our fingers crossed for the Jacksons,@ Dell Hancock added. War Front is currently the second-leading second-crop sire in the nation behind Bernardini. He has seven black- type winners in 2011, which leads all sophomores. AStallions are so hard to come by these days, and they=re very hard to make,@ said Hancock. AWar Front=s by Danzig, who stood at Claiborne, and we raised him at Claiborne.

Joyful Victory Breeder Sells Lion Heart for $290K... Windhaven Farm=s William D. Graham, breeder of this year=s good 3-year-old filly Joyful Victory (Tapit), earned every drop of the celebratory beverage he was sipping in the Northern Dancer bar yesterday after a Lion Heart colt he bred out of the mare Captivating (Arch) brought $290,000 at September. The Ontario-bred colt, consigned by Four Star Sales, sold as hip 631 t o Canadian-based trainer Mark Casse, agent. Graham had purchased the colt=s dam as a yearling for C$65,000 at the 2003 FTCSEP sale, and while Captivating didn=t win on the track, she=s already been a fine producer for her connections. Her first foal is the Windhaven William D. Graham homebred Dancing Raven Lucas Marquardt (Tomahawk). That multiple stakes-winning 4-year-old filly has been first or second in nine of 15 and earned in excess of $370,000. She most recently was third in the Algoma S. at Woodbine Sept. 5. Captivating=s second foal, the unraced 2-year- old Penelope Plum (Badge of Silver), turned a solid profit as a $75,000 KEESEP yearling last year, but the Lion Heart colt proved different class in the ring yesterday. Graham said he anticipated plenty of interest, but that the colt exceeded expectations. AWe thought maybe he=d bring $200,000,@ said Graham. Lion Heart, who now stands in Turkey, is coming off a big 2010. He ended the year as the leading third-crop sire by progeny earnings and was the sire of the GI Breeders= Cup Turf upsetter Dangerous Midge.
