An Invitation to Play at the Highest Level
Seize your chance to be part of history at the inaugural edition of the Keeneland Championship Sale: a one-of-a-kind event offering unprecedented ownership opportunities in the world’s top racing and breeding stock.
Join the most influential and up-and-coming players in the Thoroughbred industry for an unforgettable night on Wednesday evening before the World Championships.
An Extraordinary Event
From sellers who wish to capitalize on the excitement of the World Championships to buyers seeking a chance to immediately get in on the action, the Keeneland Championship Sale offers a rare opportunity.
Curated by Keeneland’s globally respected auction team, offerings will include Breeders’ Cup contenders, direct relations to Breeders’ Cup runners, and even stallion shares or breeding rights in Breeders’ Cup entrants or hot sires.
The Keeneland Championship Sale is an opportunity to play at the highest levels of the sport. Prospective owners have the chance to enjoy the ride of a lifetime, potentially taking a horse from the sales ring to the Breeders’ Cup winner’s circle, and potentially back to the sales ring, all in less than a week. That’s a rare thrill only horse racing can provide.
Attending the Event
Attendance to the Championship Sale is by invitation or request with both buyers and sellers individually invited to attend this event in the lead up to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Qualified, registered bidders may participate in person at the event, remotely via Keeneland’s online auction platform or by phone with a Keeneland representative.
What better time to buy into a Thoroughbred and experience the thrills of ownership than on the stage of the World Championships?
