November Breeding Stock Sale

79th Annual

The November Breeding Stock Sale is the world’s premier Thoroughbred auction of its type in terms of total sales and average. The sale, conducted annually since 1944, includes broodmares, weanlings, horses of racing age, racing and broodmare prospects, stallions, stallion shares and seasons. With the exception of the early years and dispersals, yearlings have not been sold during November.

The 2015 and 2020 November Sales immediately followed the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland.

Keeneland/Photos by Z Spendthrift Farm paid the sale-topping price of $3.1 million for Paris Lights, a Grade 1-winning filly by Curlin, to top the 2021 November Sale. Paris Lights is from the family of Broodmare of Year Better Than Honour.
