Breeding stock sales set to start today

Fasig Tipton's high class, one day November sale is held today beginning at 3:00 eastern. BEC will be there to watch Genuine Devotion sell as hip number 149. Fasig officials have told me that they are expecting in excess of a million dollars for her. The highlights of the sale include Breeders cup Juvenile filly winner Stardom Bound going through the ring and the final horse to be sold is Better than Honour who is the dam of Rags to Riches, Jazil and Casino Drive. The mammoth Keeneland November sale starts tomorrow with more than 5700 horses cataloged. While everyone expects the sales to be off the question is exactly how far the numbers will tumble and is there any market at all left for the cheaper horses? It is going to be an interesting two weeks.
