Keeneland January

The sale is a week away and the forecast is not bright. The vast majority of industry people who I have talked to about the upcoming sale are pessimistic about this and the two year old sales. Of course most of those people are in the business of breeding, raising and/or selling horses so I suppose the opposite view would be the market will be ripe for buyers to pick off quality horses for prices that would normally be considered value. I am particularly interested in Crestwood's dispersal of the Everest Stable. There are several really interesting horses in that consignment including broodmares, racehorses and recently turned two year olds. I like Petionville as a sire of racehorses and I think he will be pretty good broodmare sire like his sire Seeking the Gold.
