“Keeneland did a great job and put on a great show. And they haven’t taken their foot off the pedal just because we’re in Book 5. I’m a big supporter of Keeneland because they put back into the industry. They take the money that is made at the sale, and they put it where my favorite spot is, and that is up there at the finish line. And they are doing it all year long.”
- David Ingordo, Ingordo Bloodstock

“At Keeneland now there is such a commitment to customer service. It doesn’t go unnoticed to buyers and consignors. There is a real focal point on making the buying experience as good as it can be and they continue to improve it every year. .. In North America I don’t think there is a consumer experience that competes with Keeneland… Their commitment to the facility and the upgrades is like a love letter to the Thoroughbred industry because there isn’t another racetrack/sales company that would have made that commitment. They’re saying we believe in our business and we believe in you.”
- John Sikura, Hill ‘n’ Dale
