The Keeneland September Yearling Sale begins Monday, September 13 for an 11-day run offering 4,032 yearlings catalogued in five books.

Canadians have just over 100 yearlings in the books (before scratches) including three foaled in British Columbia.
In addition to a number of Canadian breeders and consignors there will be some locals heading to the sale to make purchases for next year’s stable of 2-year-olds.

David Anderson sells the first Canadian/Ontario-bred on opening day of the sale, a colt by Medaglia D’Oro from Orchard Beach and this colt is a full brother to a filly, Sahlabiya, who sold last year for $1.6 million for Anderson. Sahlabiya has been working all summer at Saratoga. Orchard Beach is the dam of Group 3 winner Sergei Prokofiev.
