Photo Call (IRE) was the third highest-priced horse at the November Sale. 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 other career paths within the industry. 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.” Today, Denali covers 700 acres. In the late 1990s, Bob Lewis and his wife, Beverly, sent their champion racemare Serena’s Song to Denali when 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 Keeneland September Yearling Sale; and Colourful Score, a colt by Storm Cat, for $3.5 million, at the 2005 September Sale. Among Denali’s achievements at Keeneland sales are two milestones from the November Sale. In 1998, Denali recorded its first seven-figure sale when it sold the Seattle Slew mare Calendar Lady, in foal to Mr. Prospector, for $1.1 million to Reynolds Bell Jr., agent.
