AWe have had million-dollar horses throughout, which I think BUZZ CONTINUES AT shows the strength of the market at the moment,@ Russell said. AThere is some hunger for these top-end horses, so it was nice KEENELAND AS BOOK 2 to have two million-dollar horses today.@ During the one-session Book 1 and three-session Book 2, CONCLUDES Keeneland sold 681 yearlings for $196,645,000 for an average of $288,759 and a median of $200,000. The September sale was reconfigured in 2017, so year-to-year comparisons are inexact, but during last year=s three-session Book 1 and two-session Book 2, 812 horses sold for $189,506,000. The average was $233,382 and the median was $170,000. Russell chose the word selective to describe the September market. AThese are very highly sophisticated, professional buyers,@ he said. AThey do their homework very well. We give them good choices to look at all these horses and they make their decision, so there is selectivity in the market.@ Cont. p3 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY DEEP CATALOGUE ASSEMBLED FOR ORBY It was a busyBand successfulBfirst four days of the When Goffs stages its flagship Orby sale on Sept. 26 and Keeneland September sale in Lexington | Keeneland photo 27, it will offer a catalogue of 468 yearlings that is “better by Brian DiDonato, Christie DeBernardis & Jessica Martini than ever,” says Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby.

There were nine million-dollar yearlings in 2016. Through this period a year ago, 96 horses sold for $500,000 or more. This year, 116 have reached that mark. AI think the goals we set out before the sale have been accomplished,@ Keeneland=s Director of Sales Operations Geoffrey Russell said at the close of business Thursday. AWe wanted to engage buyers early and I think we showed that Monday. We wanted the momentum of Monday to carry through this week and I think I would say mission accomplished.@ For the third straight day, a yearling by Scat Daddy attracted the highest price of the session. Bloodstock agent Kerri Radcliffe bid $1 million to secure a filly by the late Coolmore stallion (hip 1041) from the Gainesway consignment.

DEEP CATALOGUE HORSE MOVEMENT DISRUPTED BETWEEN HONG KONG, AUSTRALIA ASSEMBLED FOR ORBY Horse movement between Hong Kong and Australia, which would affect the travel of Australian horses to Hong Kong=s international races, will be disrupted by a suspension beginning on Oct. 2. The Australian government=s Department of Agriculture and Water Resources informed the Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conversation Department that it intends to suspend horse movements from Hong Kong to Australia pending a review of the biosecurity controls related to the Equine Disease Free Zone (EDFZ) between Hong Kong and Conghua Training Centre in the Chinese Mainland. The Conghua Training Centre is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2018. The suspension of movement means horses cannot be transported directly from Hong Kong to Australia for racing or retirement purposes; Australian horses will not be permitted to travel to compete in Hong Kong=s international races; and Hong Kong horses transported to Australia via New Zealand will require 180 days residency in New Zealand.

Click or tap here to go straight i109,986 (+5%) and median of i67,000 (+6%) even more to TDN America. impressive given the fact that the 2016 sale yielded just one seven-figure yearling compared with four the year before. Those numbers suggest an increased depth of quality of the Orby catalogue, and Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby said his team=s mission for this year=s sale was to increase the depth of quality even further. AWe had a very good sale last year, we had more international buyers than we=ve ever had before, and some of the feedback from those international buyers was that they liked what they saw, but some of those U.S. buyers and some Australasians said, >there wasn=t enough depth to your elite horses,=@ Beeby said. ASo the message we took to our vendors, the really top vendors and breeders in Ireland, was, we need more of those elite horses, because we have the buyers. There were times in the past when perhaps the issue for Goffs was we didn=t have enough really top-class buyers and top-class horses, but we now absolutely have the buyers and I genuinely believe that the breeders, after last year=s sale, have listened to what we said and done their research, agreed with us and have sent us a better bunch.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 16 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 15 SEPTEMBER, 2017

Deep Catalogue Assembled For Orby Cont. from p1 There are 468 yearlings catalogued for Orby, a number that has stayed relatively steady since 2014. Beeby said the instruction to the Goffs inspection team over the last three years has been to take only horses of a certain quality, rather than trying to fill a catalogue. AFor the Orby sale the last few years we never set out with a number,@ he said. AWe didn=t say, we want >x= number of horses. My advice and instruction to our inspection team, of which I am one, was, >pick the horses purely on merit.= If we end up with 30 or 40 fewer horses or 30 or 40 more, that=s fine, but I don=t want to bulk up the catalogue or deliberately reduce it. I want to focus on quality. We have this mantra, >if it can=t make it, don=t take it.= If it can=t make last year=s median price, don=t take it. Of course everything isn=t going to otherwise it doubles, but if you can=t envisage that horse in front of you matching up with the other horses there, this isn=t the sale for it.@

AI genuinely believe that the breeders, after last year=s sale, have listened to what we said and done their research, agreed with us and have sent us a better bunch.@

That mantra has resulted in a catalogue that Beeby described as Abetter than ever.@ ANow we=re getting at least half of their best horses, and some AThere are a number of leading Irish breeders who are top three or four,@ he said. AI=m really pleased about that. So I definitely, in my opinion, giving us a larger share of their best believe when the buyers come they=ll see a catalogue that has horses. So whereas in years gone by they gave us their fifth and moved on again and is genuinely one of the premier catalogues sixth-best horse, now we=re getting number one or number in terms of physical and pedigree in Europe.@ three or number two,@ Beeby said. AI can think of three major AI can think of two or three horses that I=ve seen that are very Irish vendors that I visit personally where in years gone by, we=d special horses,@ Beeby said. AThe Galileo filly of Ballylinch=s early get horses but not their absolute elite.@ on in the catalogue [lot 35] is a lovely, lovely horse. The Shamardal of Roundhill=s [lot 333] is an absolutely beautiful horse. The Frankel of Marlhill=s [lot 330] is a very, very nice horse. And then you get into the drafts of the likes of Croom House, The Irish National Stud, Camas Park, Yeomanstown-- inevitably if you list names you=ll end up missing somebody, but there are some beautiful, beautiful horses--Kilcarn have a very nice draft again and they=ve been there for years. The Castlebridge Consignment have horses from so many different vendors and they=ll have a real good quality bunch, and Baroda and Colbinstown gets better every year.@ Other highlights of the catalogue on paper include lot 25, a filly by Invincible Spirit (Ire) from the family of Order of St George (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}); and lot 84, a Lope de Vega (Ire) half-sister to Classic winner Elusive Wave (Ire), whose foals have topped Japan=s JRHA sale the last two years.

AYou=ve got your elite sires like the Cafe Racing Galileos, Frankels and Dubawis, but to have the Dark Angels and Sean Cronin the Kodiacs--that was one of the reasons that Doncaster [the Tom Frary Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale in August] was so strong, [email protected] because the Dark Angels and the Kodiacs are the sort of horses that have come up through the ranks in Doncaster, and the fact Irish Correspondent they=ve stayed with Doncaster has helped, but having that depth Daithi Harvey of horse in the Orby sale--and those Dark Angels and Kodiacs are from some of the better mares that have gone to them as well.@ Regular Columnists Beeby said the encouraging start to the yearling sale season is Bill Oppenheim helping optimism ahead of Orby.
