Price Horse
From 1944, the inaugural year, through 1948, the fall yearlings were sold in an auction which included broodmares, weanlings, stallions, and horses of other ages. In 1949, approximately half of the yearlings were sold in a separate October sale and the remainder in a November mixed stock sale as usual. In 1950, the yearlings were sold separately by session, but in the same week as the other stock. In 1951, the fall yearling sales were set farther apart from the fall mixed stock sale, with the yearling auctions preceding the other sale by a week or more. In 1960, the yearling sales were moved to the month of September. In 1981, the yearling sale was held in two four-day segments. Selected sessions were inaugurated in 1989.

Prominent September Sale Consignors Claiborne Farm
Location: Paris, Ky. President: Seth Hancock Website: www.claibornefarm.com Background: The Hancock family’s Claiborne Farm, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, is a world-famous Thoroughbred breeding and racing operation. Claiborne won Eclipse Awards as outstanding breeder in 1979 and 1984, and received the 2010 Eclipse Award of Merit for outstanding achievement in the Thoroughbred industry. Seth Hancock, who is Claiborne President, took over running the farm in 1972 following the death of his father, A.B. “Bull” Hancock Jr. Seth’s sister Dell Seth Hancock also takes an active role in the farm, racing stable and sales consignments. Claiborne is especially famous for being the home of Secretariat. The 1973 Triple Crown winner is buried at the farm as are some of the most influential Thoroughbreds of all time. Each year, Claiborne welcomes thousands of fans to visit Secretariat’s grave, as well as to see its 11 stallions. Among them are successful young sire War Front, whose sire, Danzig, stood at Claiborne, and champion Blame, bred and raced by Claiborne and longtime client and partner Adele Dilschneider. Claiborne has been a longtime consignor to Keeneland Sales. Earlier this decade, the farm’s September Sale graduates included champion War Pass, sold for $180,000 in 2006; Canadian Horse of the Year Arravale, sold for $190,000 in 2004; and Grade 1 winner Zensational, sold for $20,000 in 2007. 2013 stakes winners consigned as yearlings to the September Sale: Clearly Now (G3), Jack Milton (G3), Northern Passion.

Denali Stud
Location: Paris, Ky. Owners: Craig and Holly Bandoroff Website: www.denalistud.com Background: Craig and Holly Bandoroff’s Denali Stud is one of the Thoroughbred industry’s leading bloodstock consignors. Craig Bandoroff was a jockey in New Jersey in the early 1970s until a spill at Garden State Park in 1974 left him without the use of his right arm, forcing him to explore Craig Bandoroff other career paths. The Bandoroffs each gained experience working in various bloodstock and sales capacities, and in 1990 they opened Denali Stud. “Denali” is derived from the name given by the Eskimos to Mt. McKinley and means “the great one.” In the late 1990s, Bob Lewis and his wife, Beverly, sent champion Serena’s Song to Denali after she was retired. Denali has sold several of Serena Song’s offspring, including Group 1 winner Sophisticat, by Storm Cat, for $3.4 million at the 2000 Keeneland July Selected Yearling Sale; Grade 2 winner Harlington, by Unbridled, for $2.8 million at the 2003 September Sale; and Colourful Score, a colt by Storm Cat, for $3.5 million at the 2005 September Sale. Denali has consigned to the September Sale two future Kentucky Derby (G1) winners: Real Quiet, who won the Derby and Preakness (G1) in 1998, and Animal Kingdom, winner of the Derby in 2011. 2013 stakes winners consigned as yearlings to the September Sale: Dubai World Cup (G1) winner Animal Kingdom, Global Power, Hessonite (G3), 19
