  • September Yearling Sale 75Th Annual
    September Yearling Sale 75th Annual The Keeneland September Yearling Sale has evolved from humble beginnings to become the global marketplace for Thoroughbred yearlings. From 1944, the inaugural year, through 1948, the fall yearlings were sold in an auction which included broodmares, weanlings, stallions and horses of other ages. In 1949, approximately half of the yearlings were sold in a separate October sale and the remainder in a November mixed stock sale as usual. In 1950, the yearlings were sold separately by session, but in the same week as the other stock. In 1951, the fall yearling sales were set farther apart from the fall mixed stock sale, with the yearling auctions preceding the other sale by a week or more. In 1960, the yearling sales were moved to September. In 1981, the yearling sale was held in two four-day segments. Selected sessions were inaugurated in 1989. Coolmore’s M.V. Magnier paid $2.7 million for the highest-priced horse of the 2017 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, a filly by Tapit who is a full sister to 2017 Gold Cup at Santa Anita (G1) Keeneland/Photos by Z Keeneland/Photos winner Cupid.
