Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale Begins Monday

10-day auction precedes Nov. 17 Horses of Racing Age Sale

Keeneland’s position at the center of the global Thoroughbred industry reaches a pinnacle Friday and Saturday when the track hosts the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and continues Monday for Book 1 of the November Breeding Stock Sale. The sale, which covers 10 sessions through Nov. 16, features a number of proven producers, broodmare prospects and weanlings with connections to horses entered in the Breeders’ Cup 

On Nov. 17, Keeneland will hold the November Horses of Racing Sale as a stand-alone auction for this segment of the market. 

Half-sister to Cave Rock is latest supplement

Take Charge Angel, whose half-brother Cave Rock is the undefeated 4-5 morning-line favorite for the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) Presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, has been supplemented to Book 1.

In foal to McKinzie, Take Charge Angel is a daughter of Will Take Charge out of the Bellamy Road mare Georgie’s Angel. She won her career debut at Churchill Downs and two races later in her 3-year-old debut finished a half-length behind future champion Covfefe in a Keeneland allowance.
