The final stop on the North American yearling sales tour, the Kentucky October Yearlings sale has developed into one of the nation’s leading Thoroughbred auctions.
Expanded to four sessions in recent years to meet increasing market demands, the Kentucky October Yearling sale’s premium results on the racetrack continue to further the sale’s reputation in the industry. Nationally, it is a top-ranked yearling sale by percentage of Grade 1 winners and graded stakes winners sold, including recent Grade 1 winning graduates Annals of Time, British Idiom, Gretzky the Great, Mongolian Groom, Next Shares, and Simply Ravishing, as well as back-to-back Kentucky Derby (G1) winners Big Brown and Mine That Bird.
