Keesep Book 1 Ends with a Bang THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 BOOK 1: STRONG FINISH KEESEP BOOK 1 ENDS by Bill Oppenheim WITH A BANG In our column of August 24 (click here), we postulated that if 60% of the 607 yearlings catalogued in Keeneland September Book 1 sold for an average of $300,000--approximately the Book 1 average in 2014-2015--our target for the Book 1 gross was $111-million. As there were 117 fewer yearlings (16%) catalogued in Book 1, we were projecting a $23-million decline in the Book 1 gross. After the first two days--$34.5-million for 108 sold Monday and $38-million for 119 sold on Tuesday, for a two-day average of $319,000, and one seven-figure yearling each day B it looked like the $111-million figure was likely to be close to the mark. Then came Wednesday--whole different sale.

A total of 11 horses crossed the $1-million threshold in 2015. AThe first day always starts out with everyone watching everyone else,@ commented Bridlewood=s George Isaacs. AI personally found that the best horses were in today=s session, so it wasn=t any surprise to me that this would be the strongest session. The first day of a select sale is always the most temperate day and it=s just gathered momentum.@ Three Chimneys Farm bred or co-bred three of the million- dollar yearlings to sell Wednesday and the farm=s Goncalo Torrealba noticed a difference in the market during the Book 1 finale. AThe first two days were a lot softer,@ Torrealba said. AToday is a whole different day. Today they are bringing what I thought they should. We are bringing our horses here to sell and we are also here to buy. I haven=t been able to buy much and they bought everything from us.@ After a dark day Thursday, selling resumes at Keeneland Friday with the first of two sessions of Book 2.

Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.
