It really begins. Yesterday, August 11th, the Keeneland yearling sale catalog was released for the sale that begins September 13th. The sale has 4,272 horses, and that will last a week.
Add those horses to the 662 that Fasig-Tipton will sell a few days earlier. For good measure, there will also be 151 yearlings sold August 24th right in my backyard at Lone Star.
Over 5,000 horse to choose from.
Which is the right one? What a daunting task, but it must be done.
What is the best strategy? What will the partnerships do? Giving the 2-year old sales were slow, or worse, how will prices change?
When I started this blog the morning of the first works at the June Ocala sale, I was really jumping into the middle of the action.
The yearling sales are really the beginning of the process. Next year’s 2-year old sales will be a little easier to understand once I see the yearling sales.
